About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 615 · spoilt 62 · special votes 216 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (3 568 of 7 910). The IEC publishes 45.9%.
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 36 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 283 vs 3 958; DA 628 vs 1 864; EFF 434 vs 1 272; MKP 392 vs 1 181; SDP 287 vs 785; LABOUR 182 vs 315; ActionSA 94 vs 328; UAT 58 vs 158; AIC 57 vs 87; VF PLUS 40 vs 163; IFP 28 vs 70; PA 20 vs 51; APC 18 vs 24; SACP 8 vs 18; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 27; SADA 6 vs 10; AEM 4 vs 24; PAC 3 vs 12; ACP 1 vs 21; BPSA 1 vs 7; ACDP 0 vs 15; ADP 0 vs 3; AIPO 0 vs 5; AMP 0 vs 1; ASCO 0 vs 5; ATM 0 vs 42; DOP 0 vs 1; H.U.C.D 0 vs 1; HOPE 0 vs 3; INGUBO 0 vs 3; Mo-Africa Party 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 1; OLH 0 vs 3; SPP 0 vs 9; SUN 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 3.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 65 times in 2 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Emalahleni's DC 40% result.
