About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 808 · spoilt 98 · special votes 303 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (9 808 of 17 561). The IEC publishes 55.9%.

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 50 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 761 vs 11 564; CCC 998 vs 2 051; PA 703 vs 1 377; ALJAMA 405 vs 781; ActionSA 261 vs 544; GOOD 222 vs 419; ARA 193 vs 366; CMC 190 vs 379; ACDP 154 vs 324; ANC 137 vs 286; VF PLUS 133 vs 286; OLA 122 vs 217; USA 99 vs 154; BOSA 60 vs 103; EFF 36 vs 96; LABOUR 27 vs 30; United Democratic Front Party 24 vs 31; PMC 22 vs 47; MKP 19 vs 29; CAPEXIT 18 vs 23; COPE 15 vs 34; A.C.C. 13 vs 25; UIM 13 vs 25; AAC 12 vs 19; D.P.A 12 vs 16; TRUTH 10 vs 17; K.A.P 6 vs 10; IFP 5 vs 10; ANOSA 4 vs 6; SACP 4 vs 8; SAKKMVP 4 vs 7; UDM 4 vs 14; AIC 3 vs 7; SNP 3 vs 10; SUN 3 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 2; OHM 1 vs 2; AAAC 0 vs 3; ABGF 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 1; AVR 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 9; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 0 vs 1; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; H.O.I. 0 vs 4; HLD 0 vs 31; LAND 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 5; PAC 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 176 times in 6 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.
