About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 458 · spoilt 15 · special votes 0 · All 1 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 1 voting district; 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 1 voting district here (1 438 of 2 888). The IEC publishes 50.5%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 547 vs 1 584; EFF 287 vs 847; DA 178 vs 571; UAT 150 vs 431; MKP 58 vs 182; SDP 52 vs 154; AST. 26 vs 54; HOPE 24 vs 104; ActionSA 22 vs 84; VF PLUS 21 vs 70; MHRF 16 vs 33; I.Q.Z 14 vs 38; SACP 13 vs 37; ATM 12 vs 34; ACP 5 vs 9; AIC 5 vs 20; IFP 4 vs 8; INGUBO 4 vs 6; AEM 3 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 6; ACDP 0 vs 3; ADP 0 vs 2; AIPO 0 vs 1; AMP 0 vs 2; APC 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 2; SPP 0 vs 4; TRUTH 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 28 times in 1 voting district. 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.
