About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 356 · spoilt 33 · special votes 87 · 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 (1 370 of 3 343). The IEC publishes 41.1%.
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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 572 vs 1 752; ANC 212 vs 665; PA 132 vs 429; VF PLUS 124 vs 343; Advieskantoor 108 vs 302; BCA 64 vs 125; RAM 25 vs 43; GOOD 24 vs 79; ISASSA 13 vs 23; EFF 11 vs 32; ACDP 10 vs 27; ICOSA 10 vs 32; BOSA 6 vs 16; CCC 3 vs 12; PMC 3 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 8; OLA 2 vs 6; CAPEXIT 1 vs 6; SACP 1 vs 7; ARA 0 vs 4; IPM 0 vs 2; KF 0 vs 1; Kannaland Independent Party 0 vs 1; OUF 0 vs 2; PBI 0 vs 6; TRUTH 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 91 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Oudtshoorn's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
