About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 7 037 · spoilt 77 · special votes 142 · 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 (6 884 of 15 139). The IEC publishes 46.7%.
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.
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 40 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 4 358 vs 8 109; DA 802 vs 1 737; EFF 572 vs 1 228; ActionSA 264 vs 611; UDM 190 vs 403; PAC 164 vs 340; ATM 145 vs 347; AIC 135 vs 170; MKP 81 vs 164; VF PLUS 68 vs 182; PA 52 vs 89; SACP 23 vs 54; GOOD 21 vs 70; BOSA 15 vs 31; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 30; ACDP 13 vs 33; A.C.C. 11 vs 17; IFP 6 vs 12; CCC 4 vs 10; UIM 4 vs 61; COPE 3 vs 18; ANOSA 2 vs 3; AAC 1 vs 15; ARA 1 vs 4; D.P.A 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; TRUTH 1 vs 4; AAAC 0 vs 1; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 4; CKP 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 1; K.A.P 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 1; United Democratic Front Party 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 1; OLA 0 vs 2; PMC 0 vs 5; USA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 157 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.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
