About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 575 · spoilt 152 · special votes 1 600 · All 6 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)
PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 6 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.
Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 6 voting districts here (4 582 of 8 291). The IEC publishes 55.3%.
The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 780 vs 8 435; SACP 960 vs 2 779; EFF 254 vs 775; APC 89 vs 228; MKP 76 vs 226; DA 72 vs 222; ACDP 68 vs 202; COPE 23 vs 49; Mahlo People’s Movement 18 vs 44; URF 18 vs 19; ATM 15 vs 26; DCM 12 vs 16; ActionSA 9 vs 36; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 25; AUM 6 vs 19; VF PLUS 5 vs 18; PAC 4 vs 26; SDP 4 vs 9; GAZANKUL 3 vs 8; AEF 0 vs 16; BLOM 0 vs 5; BRA 0 vs 3; BTCP 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 7; GJDP 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 16; NFP 0 vs 8; PA 0 vs 10; SAHRA 0 vs 17; UAT 0 vs 40. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 104 times in 6 voting districts. In local elections the IEC also publishes each party's total across the ward, PR and DC 40% ballots. For these parties (by IEC party number) that total differs from the party's votes on the ballots themselves. We show each ballot's own votes. Each voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Bushbuckridge's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
