About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 481 · spoilt 178 · special votes 646 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (9 478 of 20 724). The IEC publishes 46.1%.

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 69 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 934 vs 5 881; ActionSA 2 073 vs 4 451; DA 1 498 vs 2 916; MKP 809 vs 1 561; EFF 655 vs 1 267; ATM 157 vs 282; VF PLUS 139 vs 316; IFP 118 vs 224; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 110 vs 206; MAYIBUYE 95 vs 165; RISE 93 vs 168; POJ 82 vs 136; AIC 75 vs 125; SACP 69 vs 135; MOVE 43 vs 78; AHC 37 vs 53; UAT 36 vs 79; ACT 31 vs 45; BOSA 22 vs 46; Umphakathi Warona 22 vs 69; ACDP 18 vs 47; AUC 16 vs 31; COPE 15 vs 29; PA 13 vs 23; APC 12 vs 25; GAZA 11 vs 22; AZAPO 10 vs 15; ARU 9 vs 15; ARRC. 6 vs 12; ARA 5 vs 10; ICM 5 vs 7; TRUTH 5 vs 11; AEF 4 vs 9; FISA 4 vs 8; AACUM 3 vs 7; AGF 3 vs 7; ALC 3 vs 7; AZANIA 3 vs 5; LABOUR 3 vs 6; ECOFORUM 2 vs 5; EKHETHU 2 vs 5; MF 2 vs 4; SDP 2 vs 3; UMBRELLA 2 vs 5; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; BPSA 1 vs 2; CCC 1 vs 2; PMC 1 vs 3; UIM 1 vs 2; VSA 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ANOSA 0 vs 1; ARM 0 vs 2; CFM 0 vs 2; CHANGE 0 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 1; GFSA 0 vs 1; IRC 0 vs 6; KCDP 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 5; LBKP 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; MRP 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 1; PAC 0 vs 15; PCP 0 vs 1; SHOSH 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 216 times in 7 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.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
