About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 1 577 · spoilt 6 · special votes 51 · 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 (1 581 of 2 883). The IEC publishes 54.8%.

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 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 501 vs 1 466; SDP 202 vs 583; DA 181 vs 611; MKP 164 vs 492; EFF 149 vs 428; HOPE 107 vs 329; ActionSA 93 vs 319; MHRF 73 vs 138; VF PLUS 29 vs 109; SACP 18 vs 61; ATM 12 vs 37; MAYIBUYE 11 vs 32; AIC 10 vs 13; AST. 8 vs 19; LABOUR 7 vs 17; IFP 3 vs 11; ACP 2 vs 6; INGUBO 1 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 5; ADP 0 vs 1; AEM 0 vs 4; APC 0 vs 3; ASCO 0 vs 1; BPSA 0 vs 1; H.U.C.D 0 vs 6; OLH 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 6; PAC 0 vs 3; SPP 0 vs 5; SUN 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 52 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: Steve Tshwete's DC 40% result.

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