About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 10 142 · spoilt 206 · special votes 385 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (10 191 of 20 986). The IEC publishes 48.6%.
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.
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 47 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 178 vs 8 614; EFF 1 496 vs 3 043; ACDP 1 069 vs 1 838; PA 740 vs 1 463; ANC 592 vs 1 195; ActionSA 554 vs 1 114; ATM 220 vs 455; GOOD 180 vs 381; VF PLUS 172 vs 402; CCC 140 vs 252; UDM 118 vs 236; MKP 77 vs 151; BOSA 69 vs 115; PAC 64 vs 135; ALJAMA 49 vs 92; IFP 30 vs 65; SACP 25 vs 44; MAYIBUYE 16 vs 40; AIC 15 vs 42; PMC 15 vs 32; TRUTH 12 vs 18; ARA 11 vs 18; COPE 10 vs 19; AZANIA 9 vs 14; CMC 9 vs 15; D.P.A 9 vs 16; SUN 9 vs 10; OLA 8 vs 12; AAC 5 vs 13; CAPEXIT 5 vs 8; K.A.P 4 vs 7; SDP 4 vs 5; UIM 4 vs 5; EKHETHU 2 vs 3; United Democratic Front Party 2 vs 4; OHM 2 vs 4; SNP 2 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 3; SAKKMVP 1 vs 2; AAAC 0 vs 1; ABGF 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 1; H.O.I. 0 vs 1; HLD 0 vs 8; NFP 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 210 times in 8 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.
