About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 140 · spoilt 52 · special votes 432 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (3 134 of 6 390). The IEC publishes 49.2%.

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 1 385 vs 4 293; DA 594 vs 1 728; MKP 257 vs 758; AIPO 178 vs 427; SDP 157 vs 468; ActionSA 129 vs 408; EFF 121 vs 382; SACP 68 vs 178; SPP 57 vs 137; AHC 23 vs 33; MAYIBUYE 20 vs 62; Mo-Africa Party 16 vs 44; INGUBO 15 vs 58; VF PLUS 15 vs 57; ATM 12 vs 40; BCO 12 vs 13; LABOUR 9 vs 14; APC 7 vs 32; PA 6 vs 11; PAC 4 vs 6; SUN 3 vs 9; ACDP 0 vs 16; ADP 0 vs 16; AEM 0 vs 1; AMP 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 1; H.U.C.D 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 27; TRUTH 0 vs 11; UAT 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 122 times in 6 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: Thembisile Hani's DC 40% result.

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