About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 11 764 · spoilt 102 · special votes 308 · 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 (11 740 of 20 995). The IEC publishes 56.4%.
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 56 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 8 770 vs 16 945; MKP 962 vs 2 106; ANC 424 vs 954; ActionSA 339 vs 827; EFF 253 vs 522; VF PLUS 235 vs 521; IFP 147 vs 354; ERPM 129 vs 200; ACDP 120 vs 305; ATM 72 vs 152; ALJAMA 30 vs 59; UCDP 18 vs 20; SACP 16 vs 29; OHM 13 vs 20; 1860NICC 12 vs 24; MF 10 vs 20; ACC 8 vs 21; AUC 6 vs 8; ADEC 5 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 9; NGG 5 vs 12; PAC 5 vs 12; INDIANCP 4 vs 8; KZNI 4 vs 7; PEOPLESA 4 vs 6; SDP 4 vs 5; AHC 3 vs 4; AIC 3 vs 4; ARA 3 vs 7; B.M. 3 vs 12; MOSA 3 vs 4; NFP 3 vs 7; TRUTH 3 vs 6; AAC 2 vs 3; ANOSA 2 vs 3; APF 2 vs 3; ARU 2 vs 6; AZAPO 2 vs 3; DLC 2 vs 10; TA 2 vs 5; AFNA 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 3; IPP 1 vs 5; JEP 1 vs 2; NPA 1 vs 2; PRM 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 8; ACT 0 vs 1; IYM 0 vs 1; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 23; PFP 0 vs 1; SAPM 0 vs 1; UWO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 164 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.
