About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 904 · spoilt 68 · special votes 1 199 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (3 995 of 8 129). The IEC publishes 49.3%.
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 23 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 719 vs 3 468; SACP 1 512 vs 2 930; EFF 177 vs 378; MAYIBUYE 93 vs 181; DA 92 vs 199; Mayibuye Civic Movement 54 vs 244; PAC 40 vs 87; AIC 28 vs 45; UDM 28 vs 57; ActionSA 16 vs 43; COPE 13 vs 14; AZAPO 12 vs 19; VF PLUS 12 vs 18; UPPA 7 vs 18; APC 4 vs 6; ACDP 3 vs 8; ACP 3 vs 4; MKP 3 vs 8; ALJAMA 2 vs 4; PA 1 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 4; ATM 0 vs 2; SWO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 56 times in 3 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.
