About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 900 · spoilt 36 · special votes 173 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (2 883 of 5 852). The IEC publishes 49.6%.

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 38 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 121 vs 3 574; BCO 744 vs 1 350; DA 393 vs 1 351; ActionSA 156 vs 599; EFF 119 vs 431; SDP 78 vs 251; MKP 55 vs 210; SACP 50 vs 141; AIPO 44 vs 144; MAYIBUYE 18 vs 62; AHC 17 vs 27; INGUBO 14 vs 46; VF PLUS 14 vs 64; APC 12 vs 30; SPP 10 vs 27; ARRC. 5 vs 8; ATM 4 vs 19; SUN 4 vs 22; BPSA 2 vs 9; Mo-Africa Party 2 vs 8; ASCO 1 vs 8; LABOUR 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 17; ACP 0 vs 4; ADP 0 vs 5; AEM 0 vs 2; AMP 0 vs 2; DOP 0 vs 2; ERM 0 vs 1; H.U.C.D 0 vs 32; HOPE 0 vs 4; I.Q.Z 0 vs 5; IFP 0 vs 13; OLH 0 vs 4; PA 0 vs 7; PAC 0 vs 8; TRUTH 0 vs 5; UAT 0 vs 22. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 125 times in 5 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.
