About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 9 278 · spoilt 110 · special votes 420 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (9 279 of 18 298). The IEC publishes 50.8%.
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 52 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 913 vs 9 977; PA 1 488 vs 2 864; ANC 563 vs 1 132; CCC 401 vs 805; ALJAMA 293 vs 541; H.O.I. 214 vs 405; ActionSA 205 vs 429; EFF 152 vs 306; GOOD 143 vs 278; ACDP 124 vs 219; VF PLUS 121 vs 266; ARA 97 vs 185; PMC 64 vs 115; BOSA 59 vs 95; PAC 46 vs 78; A.C.C. 33 vs 51; CMC 30 vs 67; ATM 22 vs 41; AIC 21 vs 33; SACP 19 vs 31; MKP 18 vs 32; SAKKMVP 18 vs 31; OLA 16 vs 28; D.P.A 14 vs 23; COPE 11 vs 21; UDM 11 vs 24; CAPEXIT 9 vs 15; IFP 9 vs 17; TRUTH 9 vs 13; ABGF 8 vs 10; LABOUR 8 vs 12; SUN 7 vs 11; United Democratic Front Party 5 vs 9; OHM 5 vs 7; K.A.P 3 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 8; SNP 3 vs 5; UIM 2 vs 5; AAC 1 vs 5; AAAC 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 3; AVR 0 vs 2; AZANIA 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 9; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 70; LAND 0 vs 1; MF 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 6; O.D 0 vs 3; USA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 249 times in 9 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.
