About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 11 354 · spoilt 136 · special votes 1 103 · 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 (11 565 of 17 071). The IEC publishes 67.9%.

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 48 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 7 918 vs 15 774; GOOD 661 vs 1 375; ALJAMA 419 vs 874; EFF 375 vs 705; ActionSA 360 vs 748; ANC 351 vs 749; PA 335 vs 626; VF PLUS 245 vs 560; ACDP 127 vs 268; CMC 68 vs 113; CCC 62 vs 184; UDM 44 vs 86; ATM 30 vs 72; CAPEXIT 23 vs 46; MKP 23 vs 49; PAC 22 vs 39; ARA 20 vs 39; SACP 20 vs 39; SUN 14 vs 22; LABOUR 13 vs 15; AIC 11 vs 17; COPE 11 vs 22; TRUTH 10 vs 17; D.P.A 9 vs 17; IFP 7 vs 11; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 11; OHM 6 vs 11; AAC 4 vs 7; AZANIA 4 vs 9; United Democratic Front Party 4 vs 13; OLA 3 vs 8; A.C.C. 2 vs 5; EKHETHU 2 vs 4; MF 2 vs 4; ABGF 1 vs 2; ANOSA 1 vs 3; K.A.P 1 vs 4; UIM 1 vs 5; BOSA 0 vs 92; CKP 0 vs 9; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; H.O.I. 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 5; NFP 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 3; PMC 0 vs 13; SDP 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: 159 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.
