About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 11 178 · spoilt 297 · special votes 267 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (11 114 of 16 568). The IEC publishes 67.5%.

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 46 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 7 759 vs 15 330; GOOD 439 vs 924; CCC 334 vs 680; ALJAMA 293 vs 581; ACDP 291 vs 569; VF PLUS 271 vs 574; ARA 250 vs 477; ANC 235 vs 522; ActionSA 231 vs 445; PA 209 vs 412; EFF 127 vs 309; SUN 117 vs 204; BOSA 82 vs 184; CMC 69 vs 115; United Democratic Front Party 54 vs 78; CAPEXIT 17 vs 38; SACP 13 vs 21; PMC 12 vs 24; COPE 11 vs 27; D.P.A 6 vs 16; MKP 6 vs 13; OLA 6 vs 16; SDP 6 vs 9; UDM 6 vs 34; A.C.C. 4 vs 8; AIC 4 vs 6; AZANIA 4 vs 6; LABOUR 4 vs 6; OHM 4 vs 8; K.A.P 3 vs 8; TRUTH 3 vs 5; UIM 2 vs 5; AAC 1 vs 4; ABGF 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 4; AVR 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 5; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; FREE DEMS 0 vs 6; H.O.I. 0 vs 4; HLD 0 vs 22; LAND 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 1; PAC 0 vs 27; USA 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 211 times in 9 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.
