About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 12 736 · spoilt 31 · special votes 64 · 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 (12 851 of 17 717). The IEC publishes 72.7%.

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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 10 645 vs 21 427; VF PLUS 1 328 vs 2 649; GOOD 171 vs 273; ACDP 101 vs 206; ActionSA 95 vs 196; ANC 94 vs 208; EFF 66 vs 135; PA 48 vs 91; CAPEXIT 41 vs 58; BOSA 22 vs 40; ATM 19 vs 38; CCC 11 vs 17; UDM 9 vs 49; ALJAMA 8 vs 15; SACP 8 vs 16; MKP 6 vs 23; PAC 5 vs 9; IFP 4 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 6; CMC 2 vs 5; COPE 2 vs 5; OHM 2 vs 6; OLA 2 vs 3; PMC 2 vs 4; TRUTH 2 vs 7; D.P.A 1 vs 2; K.A.P 1 vs 2; UIM 1 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 1; H.O.I. 0 vs 10; United Democratic Front Party 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 99 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.
