About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 032 · spoilt 49 · special votes 442 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (6 118 of 10 475). The IEC publishes 58.5%.
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 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 769 vs 3 600; DA 1 062 vs 2 232; TBM 872 vs 1 713; UDM 787 vs 1 747; EFF 601 vs 1 208; VF PLUS 119 vs 257; ATM 90 vs 193; PA 84 vs 140; ActionSA 58 vs 148; MKP 57 vs 114; SM 35 vs 77; SACP 32 vs 60; ACDP 29 vs 59; AIC 26 vs 50; RISE 21 vs 49; PAC 18 vs 40; AHC 13 vs 26; PCM 12 vs 14; APC 11 vs 13; COPE 7 vs 11; AUC 4 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 6; ARECO 2 vs 3; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 13; OLA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 117 times in 6 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.
