About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 399 · spoilt 52 · special votes 289 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (2 410 of 4 947). The IEC publishes 48.7%.
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 1 097 vs 3 199; EFF 317 vs 931; DA 283 vs 867; MKP 270 vs 845; ActionSA 157 vs 464; SDP 108 vs 304; VF PLUS 29 vs 107; SACP 17 vs 69; LABOUR 13 vs 20; AIC 10 vs 22; APC 10 vs 21; AEM 9 vs 30; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 18; PA 5 vs 9; PAC 5 vs 10; ACDP 0 vs 21; ACP 0 vs 1; ADP 0 vs 2; AIPO 0 vs 4; AMP 0 vs 1; ASCO 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 20; DOP 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; INGUBO 0 vs 1; OLH 0 vs 1; SPP 0 vs 8; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 62. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 52 times in 2 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: Emalahleni's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
