About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 13 821 · spoilt 48 · special votes 522 · 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 (13 790 of 19 418). The IEC publishes 71.2%.

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 2016 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 40 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 11 793 vs 23 522; VF PLUS 827 vs 1 670; GOOD 193 vs 417; ACDP 158 vs 282; ActionSA 152 vs 313; ANC 111 vs 248; EFF 99 vs 194; ALJAMA 78 vs 134; CAPEXIT 70 vs 101; PA 54 vs 108; BOSA 46 vs 87; UDM 28 vs 50; CCC 26 vs 70; ATM 21 vs 44; OLA 14 vs 27; CMC 13 vs 24; OHM 13 vs 22; PMC 10 vs 20; D.P.A 8 vs 15; MKP 8 vs 19; SACP 7 vs 11; PAC 6 vs 16; COPE 5 vs 16; MF 5 vs 6; ARA 4 vs 19; IFP 4 vs 6; UIM 3 vs 7; A.C.C. 2 vs 3; ANOSA 2 vs 3; SDP 2 vs 3; AIC 1 vs 2; AAAC 0 vs 25; AAC 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 6; H.O.I. 0 vs 2; HLD 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 1; United Democratic Front Party 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 141 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.
