About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 042 · spoilt 48 · special votes 1 147 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (4 045 of 8 369). The IEC publishes 48.5%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 29 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 194 vs 6 503; EFF 905 vs 2 748; DA 310 vs 946; SDP 133 vs 402; MKP 132 vs 441; ActionSA 80 vs 241; UAT 68 vs 189; SACP 67 vs 187; ATM 23 vs 67; GJDP 14 vs 40; VF PLUS 14 vs 43; IFP 13 vs 21; MYR 13 vs 27; MAYIBUYE 12 vs 31; APC 8 vs 17; URF 4 vs 6; BTCP 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 2; PAC 1 vs 13; SUN 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 7; AEF 0 vs 5; AUM 0 vs 5; BRA 0 vs 2; COPE 0 vs 11; DCM 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 4; SAHRA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 117 times in 7 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.
