About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 729 · spoilt 20 · special votes 2 268 · 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 (6 707 of 8 813). The IEC publishes 76.4%.
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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 957 vs 11 801; VF PLUS 271 vs 556; ANC 139 vs 297; ACDP 111 vs 235; EFF 70 vs 153; ActionSA 55 vs 123; UDM 29 vs 45; ATM 15 vs 32; GOOD 11 vs 26; MKP 8 vs 18; AIM 7 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 23; OHM 6 vs 8; PA 5 vs 7; SACP 5 vs 10; ALJAMA 3 vs 6; AZAPO 3 vs 7; Mayibuye Civic Movement 2 vs 8; PAC 2 vs 4; AIC 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; COPE 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 2; NA 0 vs 2; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 60 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.
