About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 022 · spoilt 35 · special votes 278 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (3 974 of 9 196). The IEC publishes 43.7%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 062 vs 4 108; EFF 503 vs 997; DA 499 vs 974; UDM 199 vs 387; SACP 148 vs 284; ActionSA 112 vs 261; P.P 100 vs 157; ATM 76 vs 166; MKP 71 vs 129; MAYIBUYE 51 vs 88; Mayibuye Civic Movement 37 vs 101; VF PLUS 30 vs 67; LABOUR 18 vs 37; PAC 18 vs 29; ACDP 17 vs 34; COPE 13 vs 18; APC 12 vs 20; AIM 9 vs 15; AZAPO 4 vs 6; DM 2 vs 5; PA 2 vs 4; CKP 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 3; AIC 0 vs 24; APPEIR 0 vs 3; DOP 0 vs 2; E.T.M 0 vs 1; SDP 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: 94 times in 5 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.
