About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 14 206 · spoilt 26 · special votes 840 · 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 (14 359 of 18 673). The IEC publishes 76.9%.

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 2021 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 34 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 12 367 vs 24 923; VF PLUS 1 247 vs 2 430; ACDP 136 vs 219; GOOD 107 vs 222; ActionSA 62 vs 144; CAPEXIT 49 vs 82; ANC 44 vs 153; EFF 36 vs 69; PA 29 vs 61; BOSA 20 vs 38; ALJAMA 15 vs 26; CCC 13 vs 28; OHM 8 vs 17; ATM 7 vs 12; SACP 7 vs 9; UDM 6 vs 11; D.P.A 3 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 5; MKP 3 vs 5; ARA 2 vs 3; CMC 2 vs 5; IFP 2 vs 5; MF 2 vs 4; PMC 2 vs 5; AAC 1 vs 21; COPE 1 vs 4; K.A.P 1 vs 2; PAC 1 vs 3; FREE DEMS 0 vs 3; HLD 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 2; SDP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 90 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.
