About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 996 · spoilt 51 · special votes 355 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 015 of 3 549). The IEC publishes 56.8%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 20 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 910 vs 2 638; LCF 298 vs 931; DA 154 vs 528; EFF 145 vs 390; MKP 141 vs 441; SDP 106 vs 280; SACP 88 vs 272; PAC 32 vs 102; ILP 19 vs 53; VF PLUS 17 vs 62; ATM 16 vs 53; AIC 7 vs 47; IFP 7 vs 34; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 7; ACDP 0 vs 2; ActionSA 0 vs 14; AIMSA 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 5; SCM 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 50 times in 3 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: Lekwa's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
