About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 10 381 · spoilt 62 · special votes 295 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (10 046 of 16 308). The IEC publishes 63.7%.

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 49 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 117 vs 10 002; ALJAMA 1 707 vs 3 584; ANC 458 vs 1 025; GOOD 449 vs 1 028; CCC 443 vs 985; CMC 248 vs 448; EFF 234 vs 532; ActionSA 210 vs 445; PA 144 vs 258; ACDP 142 vs 255; VF PLUS 122 vs 245; TRUTH 80 vs 133; D.P.A 73 vs 122; BOSA 51 vs 94; SUN 38 vs 63; SDP 21 vs 28; SACP 19 vs 26; ARA 18 vs 43; OLA 17 vs 31; UDM 17 vs 28; AZANIA 12 vs 20; IFP 9 vs 15; K.A.P 8 vs 13; United Democratic Front Party 8 vs 21; A.C.C. 7 vs 11; LABOUR 7 vs 9; COPE 6 vs 19; AIC 5 vs 18; CAPEXIT 5 vs 15; PAC 5 vs 9; UIM 5 vs 11; USA 5 vs 8; OHM 4 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 6; MF 3 vs 7; AAC 1 vs 6; AAAC 0 vs 2; ABGF 0 vs 5; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 4; AVR 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 5; FREE DEMS 0 vs 3; H.O.I. 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 29; LAND 0 vs 4; MKP 0 vs 14; NFP 0 vs 3; PMC 0 vs 11. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 63.72%; its own counts give 61.60% (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: 218 times in 8 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.
