About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 890 · spoilt 75 · special votes 728 · 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 (4 867 of 9 537). The IEC publishes 51.3%.
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.
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 1 496 vs 3 097; SACP 1 187 vs 2 235; DA 845 vs 1 725; Mayibuye Civic Movement 475 vs 977; EFF 201 vs 428; MAYIBUYE 145 vs 260; PA 119 vs 221; VF PLUS 87 vs 188; AIC 76 vs 132; AZAPO 36 vs 64; UDM 26 vs 50; ACDP 24 vs 47; PAC 23 vs 40; ActionSA 18 vs 42; ATM 11 vs 26; MKP 10 vs 23; AIM 6 vs 12; APC 5 vs 8; SDP 4 vs 5; COPE 3 vs 7; E.T.M 3 vs 6; SWO 3 vs 6; ALJAMA 2 vs 4; DOP 2 vs 3; ECOFORUM 2 vs 9; P.P 2 vs 6; DM 1 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 2; NA 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 5; ACT 0 vs 3; APPEIR 0 vs 2; GOOD 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 83 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.
