About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 1 971 · All 16 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)

In local elections the IEC adds votes across the ward, PR and district ballots, so we show valid votes per ballot instead of one "votes cast" total.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 16 voting districts here (13 322 of 23 937). The IEC publishes 56.0%.

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 municipality, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 77 times in 6 wards. 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 ward's own page lists the IEC's figures.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
