About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 163 · spoilt 41 · special votes 212 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (3 056 of 6 246). The IEC publishes 50.6%.
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): MKP 1 350 vs 3 872; ANC 895 vs 2 807; EFF 516 vs 1 370; LABOUR 135 vs 249; PMP 50 vs 88; ActionSA 34 vs 194; DA 26 vs 120; AET 22 vs 61; SACP 22 vs 76; CPM 15 vs 22; ARONA 13 vs 26; APC 11 vs 27; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 15; VF PLUS 4 vs 20; UCDP 3 vs 6; ACP 2 vs 5; BBS 2 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 3; AACUM 1 vs 2; AZAPO 1 vs 4; PURPLE 1 vs 4; RPP 1 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 10; ACG 0 vs 10; ACT 0 vs 5; AEF 0 vs 9; AIC 0 vs 38; ARC 0 vs 5; ATM 0 vs 11; COPE 0 vs 19; ERM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; IP 0 vs 1; L.S.M 0 vs 3; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 0 vs 17; PA 0 vs 2; RCF 0 vs 5; TSOGANG 0 vs 4; UAT 0 vs 11. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 86 times in 3 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.
