About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 673 · spoilt 35 · special votes 331 · 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 (2 710 of 5 319). The IEC publishes 51.0%.

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.

The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.

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 1 020 vs 3 128; DA 403 vs 1 281; BCO 349 vs 682; AIPO 313 vs 984; ActionSA 157 vs 520; MKP 141 vs 352; EFF 131 vs 475; SACP 26 vs 69; MAYIBUYE 18 vs 53; VF PLUS 18 vs 72; APC 15 vs 37; Mo-Africa Party 11 vs 14; INGUBO 9 vs 25; SDP 8 vs 34; SUN 6 vs 12; AHC 4 vs 15; SPP 4 vs 11; LABOUR 3 vs 4; BPSA 2 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 23; ACP 0 vs 1; ADP 0 vs 13; AEM 0 vs 3; AMP 0 vs 5; ARRC. 0 vs 3; ASCO 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 15; DOP 0 vs 1; H.U.C.D 0 vs 13; HOPE 0 vs 1; I.Q.Z 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 8; LBKP 0 vs 1; OLH 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 6; PAC 0 vs 5; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 12. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 117 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.
