About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 838 · spoilt 26 · special votes 82 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 850 of 5 396). The IEC publishes 54.1%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 743 vs 2 524; IFP 579 vs 1 803; ANC 324 vs 994; IA 178 vs 456; DA 160 vs 570; EFF 138 vs 425; AUP 117 vs 301; AAM 101 vs 278; IRC 92 vs 330; SACP 54 vs 134; ActionSA 53 vs 167; A.B.C.D. 51 vs 71; PVP 34 vs 66; NDRF 21 vs 59; ARU 18 vs 31; KZNI 15 vs 26; MAYIBUYE 15 vs 28; JEP 10 vs 17; VF PLUS 9 vs 28; MPM 6 vs 16; AEF 4 vs 17; ALJAMA 4 vs 6; NFP 4 vs 18; SDP 4 vs 9; WAYO 3 vs 9; ARM.JBS 2 vs 4; CFP 2 vs 9; B.M. 1 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 5; ATM 0 vs 22; ISP 0 vs 4; SSM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 93 times in 3 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
