About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 210 · spoilt 184 · special votes 261 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (2 211 of 3 804). The IEC publishes 58.1%.
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 710 vs 2 202; DA 182 vs 583; MKP 160 vs 513; LCF 156 vs 509; SACP 156 vs 462; VF PLUS 127 vs 352; EFF 114 vs 332; ATM 94 vs 268; SDP 85 vs 296; AIC 62 vs 155; ILP 52 vs 171; MAYIBUYE 16 vs 124; PA 5 vs 12; PAC 5 vs 32; ACDP 0 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ActionSA 0 vs 5; AIMSA 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 49; SCM 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 106 times in 7 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.
