About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 591 · spoilt 53 · special votes 148 · 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 (2 611 of 6 181). The IEC publishes 42.3%.

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 37 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 249 vs 3 753; DA 435 vs 1 332; ActionSA 240 vs 751; MKP 179 vs 446; EFF 113 vs 388; AIPO 91 vs 276; SACP 40 vs 125; INGUBO 26 vs 91; SDP 26 vs 76; VF PLUS 21 vs 73; SPP 14 vs 48; AHC 13 vs 25; PAC 12 vs 19; BCO 11 vs 17; PA 10 vs 21; APC 7 vs 34; SUN 6 vs 9; ATM 5 vs 24; LABOUR 4 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 14; BPSA 2 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 13; ACP 0 vs 8; ADP 0 vs 8; AEM 0 vs 2; AMP 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 4; ASCO 0 vs 4; DOP 0 vs 3; ERM 0 vs 2; HOPE 0 vs 3; I.Q.Z 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 5; MICO 0 vs 1; Mo-Africa Party 0 vs 1; OLH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 9. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 143 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.
