About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 786 · spoilt 100 · special votes 231 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (2 749 of 4 937). The IEC publishes 56.4%.
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 35 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 932 vs 2 393; MKP 753 vs 2 580; IFP 296 vs 935; ActionSA 158 vs 526; DA 122 vs 405; IRC 83 vs 266; ATM 62 vs 183; EFF 54 vs 179; IA 43 vs 93; MAYIBUYE 36 vs 81; MPM 25 vs 79; AAM 23 vs 70; LABOUR 18 vs 32; PVP 17 vs 53; VF PLUS 13 vs 56; NDRF 11 vs 26; SACP 11 vs 26; NFP 5 vs 14; WAYO 5 vs 22; ALJAMA 3 vs 6; ARU 3 vs 4; JEP 3 vs 4; ACC 2 vs 6; KZNI 2 vs 8; SDP 2 vs 4; AEF 1 vs 5; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 3; ARM.JBS 1 vs 2; CFP 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 2; AUP 0 vs 4; B.M. 0 vs 3; ISP 0 vs 8; SSM 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 93 times in 4 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
