About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 301 · spoilt 15 · special votes 314 · 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 (2 311 of 4 175). The IEC publishes 55.4%.
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 23 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 385 vs 4 165; VF PLUS 265 vs 799; EFF 247 vs 668; ANC 173 vs 517; SEDIMO 116 vs 297; ActionSA 41 vs 137; SACP 17 vs 35; KOPANO 16 vs 40; ACDP 10 vs 28; MKP 10 vs 26; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 3 vs 6; APC 1 vs 3; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 1; AIC 0 vs 4; ARC 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 7; PA 0 vs 98; PAC 0 vs 13; SDP 0 vs 9; UAT 0 vs 2; UCDP 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 58 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: Ditsobotla's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
