About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 105 · spoilt 82 · special votes 622 · 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 (9 304 of 15 530). The IEC publishes 60.1%.

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.

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 52 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 494 vs 11 236; ARA 1 151 vs 2 040; PA 513 vs 997; CCC 480 vs 952; ALJAMA 213 vs 477; ActionSA 199 vs 421; ACDP 182 vs 372; ANC 149 vs 304; VF PLUS 129 vs 311; GOOD 104 vs 247; EFF 95 vs 180; CMC 49 vs 105; BOSA 41 vs 75; United Democratic Front Party 36 vs 88; PMC 22 vs 36; OLA 19 vs 35; SUN 18 vs 24; D.P.A 15 vs 79; A.C.C. 13 vs 25; CAPEXIT 13 vs 19; UIM 13 vs 19; UDM 11 vs 21; AZANIA 10 vs 11; TRUTH 7 vs 14; AAC 6 vs 10; PAC 6 vs 8; COPE 5 vs 11; SDP 5 vs 8; K.A.P 4 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 5; SACP 3 vs 6; IFP 2 vs 6; LABOUR 2 vs 5; MKP 2 vs 5; OHM 2 vs 4; SAKKMVP 2 vs 5; ABGF 1 vs 2; AIC 1 vs 3; MF 1 vs 3; AAAC 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 5; CKP 0 vs 4; EKHETHU 0 vs 1; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 2; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; H.O.I. 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 23; LAND 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 1; SNP 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 180 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.
