About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 12 724 · spoilt 85 · special votes 703 · 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 (12 419 of 19 885). The IEC publishes 64.6%.

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 48 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 6 782 vs 14 403; PA 3 662 vs 6 101; VF PLUS 394 vs 747; ActionSA 298 vs 661; GOOD 294 vs 490; ANC 259 vs 578; EFF 201 vs 429; ACDP 163 vs 309; CCC 161 vs 361; UDM 52 vs 100; ATM 46 vs 101; BOSA 38 vs 59; ALJAMA 33 vs 77; SACP 32 vs 74; AIC 31 vs 37; PMC 24 vs 46; CAPEXIT 21 vs 38; MKP 21 vs 43; PAC 21 vs 46; A.C.C. 12 vs 32; COPE 12 vs 31; ARA 10 vs 33; CMC 10 vs 25; AZANIA 7 vs 21; OLA 7 vs 12; TRUTH 5 vs 14; AAC 4 vs 10; D.P.A 4 vs 10; IFP 4 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 12; UIM 4 vs 8; K.A.P 3 vs 7; AVR 2 vs 3; EKHETHU 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 2; United Democratic Front Party 1 vs 5; SAKKMVP 1 vs 3; SUN 1 vs 2; ABGF 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 5; FREE DEMS 0 vs 2; H.O.I. 0 vs 2; HLD 0 vs 3; LAND 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 64.6%; its own counts give 62.45% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 174 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.
