About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 952 · spoilt 79 · special votes 354 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (2 947 of 6 852). The IEC publishes 43.1%.

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 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 570 vs 4 774; EFF 420 vs 1 228; SACP 276 vs 786; DA 251 vs 765; ActionSA 98 vs 314; UAT 67 vs 187; MAYIBUYE 47 vs 134; SDP 38 vs 91; MKP 31 vs 95; DCM 19 vs 50; APC 18 vs 43; VF PLUS 17 vs 37; ATM 10 vs 30; PAC 5 vs 8; TWMP 1 vs 7; URF 1 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 34; AEF 0 vs 4; AUM 0 vs 2; BRA 0 vs 3; GAZA 0 vs 1; GAZANKUL 0 vs 1; ODF 0 vs 3; SAHRA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 79 times in 5 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.
