About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 017 · spoilt 61 · special votes 708 · All 10 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 10 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 10 voting districts here (4 968 of 9 459). The IEC publishes 53.1%.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 3 237 vs 9 481; EFF 962 vs 2 931; DA 184 vs 576; MKP 142 vs 466; SACP 138 vs 376; SDP 82 vs 256; GJDP 68 vs 184; ActionSA 39 vs 153; UAT 22 vs 67; APC 16 vs 51; ATM 14 vs 50; LABOUR 12 vs 26; VF PLUS 10 vs 31; IFP 7 vs 14; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 20; NFP 6 vs 16; OHM 4 vs 5; PAC 3 vs 6; MYR 2 vs 6; SUN 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 19; AEF 0 vs 4; BTCP 0 vs 1; COPE 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 5; TWMP 0 vs 1; URF 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 145 times in 10 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: City of Mbombela's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
