About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 526 · spoilt 52 · special votes 1 564 · 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 (5 370 of 11 577). The IEC publishes 48.0%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
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 2 195 vs 4 358; DA 1 247 vs 2 508; UDM 540 vs 1 056; EFF 527 vs 1 047; SACP 267 vs 481; PA 171 vs 342; AIC 94 vs 134; VF PLUS 77 vs 161; ActionSA 73 vs 155; ATM 63 vs 115; MAYIBUYE 41 vs 68; Mayibuye Civic Movement 31 vs 95; MKP 20 vs 48; E.T.M 17 vs 35; ACDP 14 vs 25; DM 10 vs 15; GOOD 10 vs 13; PAC 10 vs 16; AIM 9 vs 20; AZAPO 9 vs 18; COPE 8 vs 14; P.P 5 vs 9; APC 4 vs 11; ECOFORUM 3 vs 6; NA 3 vs 5; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; FISA 1 vs 4; LABOUR 1 vs 2; UPPA 1 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 2; APPEIR 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 1; PCAM 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: 99 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.
