About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 11 870 · spoilt 56 · special votes 914 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (11 872 of 17 543). The IEC publishes 67.8%.

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.

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 37 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 9 948 vs 19 876; VF PLUS 865 vs 1 726; ActionSA 160 vs 345; ANC 158 vs 352; EFF 149 vs 294; GOOD 99 vs 204; ACDP 92 vs 202; CAPEXIT 62 vs 122; ATM 54 vs 107; PA 38 vs 68; UDM 38 vs 71; BOSA 37 vs 64; SACP 29 vs 49; ALJAMA 16 vs 31; MKP 14 vs 30; OHM 11 vs 19; AIC 8 vs 9; CCC 8 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 12; IFP 3 vs 4; MF 3 vs 4; ARA 2 vs 4; AAC 1 vs 2; ABGF 1 vs 2; CMC 1 vs 6; COPE 1 vs 3; D.P.A 1 vs 10; K.A.P 1 vs 3; OLA 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; AVR 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 1; United Democratic Front Party 0 vs 1; PAC 0 vs 10; PMC 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 125 times in 7 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.
