About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 524 · spoilt 35 · special votes 244 · 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 (9 454 of 15 804). The IEC publishes 60.5%.

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 50 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 957 vs 11 836; ALJAMA 982 vs 1 833; CCC 728 vs 1 549; GOOD 422 vs 791; PA 364 vs 633; ActionSA 183 vs 401; ANC 150 vs 339; ACDP 139 vs 288; CMC 104 vs 200; VF PLUS 101 vs 201; EFF 94 vs 216; D.P.A 53 vs 95; ARA 52 vs 95; A.C.C. 22 vs 36; SDP 17 vs 21; BOSA 16 vs 38; USA 15 vs 24; CAPEXIT 10 vs 21; LABOUR 9 vs 15; PAC 9 vs 16; OHM 7 vs 8; OLA 6 vs 21; SUN 6 vs 11; AZANIA 5 vs 8; AAC 4 vs 12; AIC 4 vs 8; United Democratic Front Party 4 vs 7; ABGF 3 vs 7; K.A.P 3 vs 5; MF 3 vs 4; SAKKMVP 3 vs 4; UDM 3 vs 6; UIM 3 vs 5; ANOSA 2 vs 3; EKHETHU 2 vs 3; SACP 2 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 16; COPE 0 vs 16; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; FREE DEMS 0 vs 2; H.O.I. 0 vs 4; HLD 0 vs 37; LAND 0 vs 1; MAYIBUYE 0 vs 2; MKP 0 vs 4; NFP 0 vs 5; O.D 0 vs 3; PMC 0 vs 19; TRUTH 0 vs 9.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 192 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.
