About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 440 · spoilt 51 · special votes 0 · 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 (2 590 of 4 986). The IEC publishes 52.0%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 860 vs 2 947; MKP 412 vs 1 363; DA 245 vs 753; SDP 243 vs 713; EFF 185 vs 548; ActionSA 154 vs 460; AIC 56 vs 80; SACP 28 vs 111; AEM 27 vs 71; VF PLUS 17 vs 68; PA 14 vs 39; IFP 13 vs 48; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 20; LABOUR 5 vs 14; APC 4 vs 16; ACP 3 vs 8; PAC 3 vs 11; BPSA 2 vs 6; OHM 2 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 51; ADP 0 vs 4; AIPO 0 vs 4; AMP 0 vs 6; ASCO 0 vs 13; ATM 0 vs 28; DOP 0 vs 2; H.U.C.D 0 vs 1; HOPE 0 vs 1; INGUBO 0 vs 2; OLH 0 vs 2; SPP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 4; UAT 0 vs 19. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 60 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.
