About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 6 603 · spoilt 100 · special votes 1 474 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (6 655 of 16 056). The IEC publishes 41.8%.

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 46 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 401 vs 5 084; DA 1 896 vs 3 565; EFF 678 vs 1 328; SACP 376 vs 666; UDM 211 vs 423; ActionSA 166 vs 382; PA 166 vs 265; AIC 131 vs 173; ATM 108 vs 230; VF PLUS 75 vs 174; MKP 74 vs 146; PAC 63 vs 125; GOOD 34 vs 72; MAYIBUYE 28 vs 53; BOSA 27 vs 45; IFP 9 vs 14; AAC 6 vs 8; ACDP 6 vs 18; COPE 6 vs 15; A.C.C. 5 vs 12; AZANIA 4 vs 11; TRUTH 4 vs 6; D.P.A 3 vs 9; K.A.P 3 vs 5; UIM 3 vs 22; ALJAMA 2 vs 5; SDP 2 vs 3; ANOSA 1 vs 2; ARA 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 3; SUN 1 vs 2; AAAC 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 3; CCC 0 vs 6; CKP 0 vs 1; EKHETHU 0 vs 2; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 2; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 3; LAND 0 vs 1; MF 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 9; United Democratic Front Party 0 vs 7; O.D 0 vs 1; PMC 0 vs 3; USA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 131 times in 6 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.
