About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 251 · spoilt 58 · special votes 175 · 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 (3 253 of 6 882). The IEC publishes 47.3%.

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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 070 vs 3 274; MKP 914 vs 2 666; DA 407 vs 1 191; EFF 249 vs 777; SDP 206 vs 577; ActionSA 157 vs 499; VF PLUS 60 vs 179; LABOUR 28 vs 56; AEM 27 vs 69; APC 19 vs 37; PAC 19 vs 55; MAYIBUYE 11 vs 29; SACP 8 vs 37; SADA 6 vs 9; BPSA 5 vs 11; AIC 4 vs 17; PA 3 vs 16; ACDP 0 vs 16; ACP 0 vs 2; AIPO 0 vs 2; ASCO 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 44; DOP 0 vs 10; H.U.C.D 0 vs 1; HOPE 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 10; MICO 0 vs 1; OLH 0 vs 3; SPP 0 vs 2; TRUTH 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 121 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: Emalahleni's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
