About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 838 · spoilt 170 · special votes 658 · 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 (7 744 of 15 649). The IEC publishes 50.4%.

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 68 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 604 vs 4 986; DA 1 593 vs 2 799; MKP 1 216 vs 2 298; ActionSA 776 vs 1 524; EFF 440 vs 779; IFP 298 vs 574; AIC 173 vs 216; RISE 111 vs 193; VF PLUS 62 vs 122; ATM 50 vs 106; SACP 43 vs 84; PA 40 vs 103; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 27 vs 55; ACP 24 vs 51; BOSA 22 vs 53; KCDP 21 vs 39; PAC 18 vs 33; ACT 15 vs 24; AHC 12 vs 32; ECOFORUM 12 vs 16; ACDP 11 vs 19; COPE 11 vs 21; MAYIBUYE 10 vs 18; KYP 7 vs 9; APC 6 vs 12; FISA 5 vs 7; UMBRELLA 5 vs 7; SAPCO 4 vs 10; TRUTH 4 vs 12; AUC 3 vs 12; AZAPO 3 vs 4; OHM 3 vs 4; POJ 3 vs 5; SDP 3 vs 4; VSA 3 vs 5; AEF 2 vs 3; ANOSA 2 vs 4; ARA 2 vs 6; AZANIA 2 vs 3; CCC 2 vs 3; LABOUR 2 vs 5; Umphakathi Warona 2 vs 9; ALC 1 vs 13; ARRC. 1 vs 5; EKHETHU 1 vs 5; ICM 1 vs 3; IN 1 vs 4; MF 1 vs 347; AACUM 0 vs 4; ARM 0 vs 17; ARU 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 1; CFM 0 vs 399; COMBAT 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 5; GFSA 0 vs 5; IRC 0 vs 5; LAND 0 vs 11; LBKP 0 vs 2; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; MOVE 0 vs 1; MRP 0 vs 100; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 3; PCP 0 vs 4; PMC 0 vs 16; SHOSH 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 21. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 206 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.

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