About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 1 561 · spoilt 71 · special votes 116 · 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 (1 580 of 3 156). The IEC publishes 50.0%.

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.

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 21 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 336 vs 1 064; LCF 293 vs 932; EFF 219 vs 608; MKP 171 vs 513; DA 154 vs 509; SACP 119 vs 343; PAC 92 vs 243; SDP 54 vs 154; ILP 16 vs 46; VF PLUS 15 vs 49; ATM 7 vs 28; AIC 6 vs 13; IFP 3 vs 15; ACDP 0 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 1; ActionSA 0 vs 13; AIMSA 0 vs 4; MPF 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 7; SCM 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 56 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.
