About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 104 · spoilt 7 · special votes 231 · All 1 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 1 voting district; 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 1 voting district here (1 042 of 1 654). The IEC publishes 66.8%.
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 9 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 526 vs 1 566; EFF 164 vs 502; PA 163 vs 509; DA 83 vs 213; Onafhanklik 52 vs 99; SACP 47 vs 76; ACDP 36 vs 110; VF PLUS 18 vs 60; SGB 8 vs 18. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 66.75%; its own counts give 63.00% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 9 times in 1 voting district. 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: THEMBELIHLE's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
