About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 948 · spoilt 81 · special votes 728 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (9 957 of 16 725). The IEC publishes 60.3%.

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 49 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 171 vs 8 981; PA 3 206 vs 4 980; ALJAMA 733 vs 1 629; ActionSA 259 vs 555; EFF 240 vs 512; GOOD 214 vs 562; ANC 178 vs 463; CCC 172 vs 562; CMC 117 vs 240; VF PLUS 112 vs 309; ACDP 70 vs 205; ARA 58 vs 111; BOSA 38 vs 67; ATM 32 vs 61; SUN 32 vs 50; A.C.C. 30 vs 35; PAC 27 vs 41; HLD 23 vs 46; OLA 21 vs 32; MKP 20 vs 37; UDM 17 vs 35; TRUTH 16 vs 18; D.P.A 13 vs 23; AVR 9 vs 10; AAC 8 vs 12; AIC 8 vs 16; CAPEXIT 7 vs 19; LABOUR 5 vs 9; AZANIA 4 vs 9; COPE 4 vs 13; IFP 4 vs 10; K.A.P 4 vs 6; EKHETHU 3 vs 5; United Democratic Front Party 2 vs 9; SDP 2 vs 5; ANOSA 1 vs 2; UIM 1 vs 3; AAAC 0 vs 2; ABGF 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 8; FREE DEMS 0 vs 4; H.O.I. 0 vs 4; MF 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 1; PMC 0 vs 14; SACP 0 vs 2; SAKKMVP 0 vs 2; USA 0 vs 1.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 181 times in 7 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.
