About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 189 · spoilt 40 · special votes 486 · 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 (2 189 of 4 082). The IEC publishes 54.0%.

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.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 338 vs 3 905; EFF 251 vs 820; DA 187 vs 584; PA 62 vs 179; MKP 54 vs 145; SPSDF 54 vs 100; KAG 50 vs 188; SACP 48 vs 148; PAC 21 vs 60; ACDP 12 vs 36; VF PLUS 12 vs 39; AIC 10 vs 58; ATM 10 vs 30; LABOUR 9 vs 14; COPE 4 vs 21; GOOD 4 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 10; ACP 3 vs 11; CASA 3 vs 9; UDM 2 vs 12; ActionSA 0 vs 47; AZAPO 0 vs 11; DRC 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 5; NGG 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 11. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 72 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: Sol Plaatje's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
