About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 9 046 · spoilt 170 · special votes 464 · 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 (8 824 of 19 242). The IEC publishes 47.7%.
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 60 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 3 784 vs 7 989; ANC 1 543 vs 2 860; MKP 1 144 vs 2 236; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 596 vs 996; ERPM 356 vs 616; IFP 292 vs 500; MF 223 vs 381; 1860NICC 182 vs 306; EFF 172 vs 313; ADEC 99 vs 174; VF PLUS 97 vs 206; ACDP 62 vs 110; ActionSA 61 vs 130; ATM 57 vs 116; ALJAMA 27 vs 52; AIC 20 vs 49; TA 19 vs 23; PEOPLESA 12 vs 15; INDIANCP 11 vs 15; SACP 11 vs 17; IPP 8 vs 20; O.D 8 vs 14; ARA 5 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 9; OHM 5 vs 10; AC 4 vs 10; AHC 4 vs 13; AUC 4 vs 5; AZAPO 4 vs 5; JEP 4 vs 16; NDF 4 vs 15; UCDP 4 vs 10; PRM 3 vs 7; TRUTH 3 vs 6; AAC 2 vs 10; ASC 2 vs 4; B.M. 2 vs 5; KZNI 2 vs 8; PAC 2 vs 10; SAPM 2 vs 3; ACC 1 vs 4; AEF 1 vs 2; EKHETHU 1 vs 5; GJDP 1 vs 3; NGG 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; ANOSA 0 vs 1; ARRC. 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 5; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 3; NFP 0 vs 3; PA 0 vs 17; PFP 0 vs 18; PPF 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 5; SUN 0 vs 3; UWO 0 vs 1.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 161 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.
