About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 035 · spoilt 69 · special votes 390 · 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 (3 058 of 6 617). The IEC publishes 46.2%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 39 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 346 vs 4 072; SACP 695 vs 2 070; EFF 227 vs 683; DA 216 vs 660; SLK26 165 vs 420; ActionSA 119 vs 370; VF PLUS 53 vs 162; MKP 40 vs 130; TSOGANG 26 vs 91; ACDP 14 vs 45; AIC 11 vs 55; MAYIBUYE 11 vs 12; PMP 7 vs 9; RPP 6 vs 11; LABOUR 5 vs 9; ECOFORUM 3 vs 7; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 3 vs 13; PA 3 vs 26; PURPLE 3 vs 9; APC 2 vs 11; AZAPO 2 vs 4; COPE 2 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 11; UCDP 2 vs 5; SDP 1 vs 6; AACUM 0 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; AET 0 vs 7; ARC 0 vs 3; ARONA 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 7; ERM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 2; IP 0 vs 5; L.S.M 0 vs 3; RCF 0 vs 1; SAPA 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 13. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 106 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: Rustenburg's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
