About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 057 · spoilt 68 · special votes 357 · 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 (4 160 of 8 971). The IEC publishes 46.5%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 150 vs 4 312; DA 653 vs 1 439; EFF 394 vs 770; ActionSA 133 vs 274; NSDF 119 vs 221; PA 119 vs 237; VF PLUS 75 vs 173; AIC 62 vs 93; AASD 53 vs 106; SACP 45 vs 82; MKP 30 vs 59; ATM 27 vs 57; ACT 21 vs 33; AHC 18 vs 41; ACDP 14 vs 22; PAC 12 vs 26; APC 11 vs 19; BOSA 11 vs 20; COPE 8 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 8 vs 14; AACUM 5 vs 8; ACIM 5 vs 11; AAC 4 vs 11; IFP 2 vs 4; PMC 2 vs 3; SUN 1 vs 2; UCDP 1 vs 3; MSPV 0 vs 1; SARKO 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 13. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 128 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.
