About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 5 467 · spoilt 84 · special votes 285 · All 11 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 11 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 11 voting districts here (5 467 of 11 516). The IEC publishes 48.5%.

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.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 839 vs 3 654; ANC 1 220 vs 2 840; EFF 672 vs 1 315; NSDF 313 vs 630; VF PLUS 307 vs 597; AAC 231 vs 239; SACP 146 vs 268; PA 120 vs 244; ATM 105 vs 223; ActionSA 104 vs 204; AIC 83 vs 101; AACUM 68 vs 131; ACDP 39 vs 82; MKP 28 vs 52; AASD 25 vs 53; PAC 21 vs 34; BOSA 17 vs 25; AHC 12 vs 22; PMC 5 vs 6; ACIM 4 vs 10; APC 4 vs 6; COPE 4 vs 17; IFP 4 vs 7; UCDP 4 vs 7; URF 3 vs 4; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 3; SUN 2 vs 4; SARKO 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 10; LABOUR 0 vs 1; MSPV 0 vs 5; UAT 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 163 times in 11 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.
