About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 762 · spoilt 41 · special votes 380 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (9 741 of 16 014). The IEC publishes 61.1%.

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 45 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 7 886 vs 15 593; GOOD 619 vs 1 311; EFF 284 vs 579; ActionSA 180 vs 378; VF PLUS 168 vs 363; ANC 160 vs 344; BOSA 128 vs 259; ALJAMA 92 vs 175; ACDP 32 vs 61; CAPEXIT 29 vs 44; SACP 23 vs 42; CMC 19 vs 28; UDM 17 vs 29; PA 12 vs 26; D.P.A 7 vs 12; MF 7 vs 11; SUN 6 vs 9; TRUTH 6 vs 11; CCC 5 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 8; ARA 4 vs 7; IFP 4 vs 9; SDP 4 vs 7; COPE 3 vs 8; OHM 3 vs 8; OLA 3 vs 5; AAC 2 vs 3; ANOSA 2 vs 4; AZANIA 2 vs 5; K.A.P 2 vs 5; LABOUR 2 vs 4; United Democratic Front Party 2 vs 4; A.C.C. 1 vs 3; AIC 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 21; CKP 0 vs 1; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 11; NFP 0 vs 1; PAC 0 vs 8; PMC 0 vs 6; USA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 121 times in 5 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.
