About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 10 915 · spoilt 78 · special votes 364 · 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 (10 584 of 17 154). 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.

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 47 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 8 495 vs 16 455; VF PLUS 453 vs 860; ActionSA 383 vs 760; GOOD 331 vs 652; EFF 285 vs 536; ALJAMA 181 vs 329; PA 104 vs 195; ACDP 75 vs 153; BOSA 70 vs 132; CCC 69 vs 148; CAPEXIT 57 vs 90; UDM 46 vs 71; MKP 45 vs 72; CMC 42 vs 66; AIC 31 vs 32; SACP 28 vs 39; PAC 21 vs 32; D.P.A 19 vs 32; SDP 16 vs 28; MF 13 vs 17; IFP 10 vs 19; TRUTH 10 vs 24; OHM 8 vs 10; ARA 7 vs 24; COPE 6 vs 17; A.C.C. 5 vs 8; AAC 5 vs 6; OLA 4 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 6; United Democratic Front Party 3 vs 9; SUN 3 vs 7; LABOUR 2 vs 3; AAAC 0 vs 2; ABGF 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; ANC 0 vs 349; ATM 0 vs 52; CKP 0 vs 3; EKHETHU 0 vs 5; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 1; PMC 0 vs 10; SAKKMVP 0 vs 1; UIM 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 63.7%; its own counts give 61.70% (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: 195 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.
