About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 221 · spoilt 20 · special votes 504 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (2 217 of 4 260). The IEC publishes 52.1%.
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 2016 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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 752 vs 2 135; PA 560 vs 1 744; DA 523 vs 1 612; EFF 84 vs 238; GOOD 51 vs 171; CASA 38 vs 76; VF PLUS 37 vs 140; KAG 36 vs 131; CCC 30 vs 53; SPSDF 21 vs 34; MKP 18 vs 42; SACP 17 vs 48; AIC 7 vs 43; PAC 6 vs 21; COPE 5 vs 17; AZAPO 4 vs 6; ACP 3 vs 10; NGG 3 vs 4; SAKKMVP 3 vs 4; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 31; ActionSA 0 vs 26; ATM 0 vs 6; DRC 0 vs 8; IFP 0 vs 2; YBF 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 50 times in 2 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.
