About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 630 · spoilt 27 · special votes 268 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (5 625 of 10 228). The IEC publishes 55.2%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 3 240 vs 6 427; VF PLUS 662 vs 1 316; ANC 590 vs 1 208; EFF 449 vs 891; ActionSA 258 vs 543; PA 92 vs 176; ATM 70 vs 138; MKP 56 vs 110; ACDP 52 vs 105; SACP 34 vs 64; ACT 17 vs 48; BOSA 14 vs 26; AASD 12 vs 21; COPE 10 vs 18; IFP 7 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 12; PAC 6 vs 16; AIC 5 vs 9; AHC 4 vs 11; PMC 4 vs 7; SUN 3 vs 6; URF 3 vs 5; AACUM 2 vs 4; ACIM 2 vs 5; APC 2 vs 4; UCDP 2 vs 4; LABOUR 0 vs 2; MSPV 0 vs 3; NSDF 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 108 times in 6 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.
