About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 392 · spoilt 51 · special votes 601 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (4 370 of 9 904). The IEC publishes 44.4%.
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.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 40 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): EFF 2 018 vs 5 793; ANC 1 318 vs 4 101; ActionSA 531 vs 1 617; DA 185 vs 573; SACP 65 vs 180; MAYIBUYE 46 vs 130; UAT 41 vs 120; VF PLUS 27 vs 122; MKP 26 vs 63; BTW 23 vs 67; AZAPO 15 vs 41; ACDP 8 vs 39; BOSA 7 vs 23; RISE 6 vs 12; A.S 5 vs 11; MAGAENG 4 vs 7; PAC 4 vs 12; MTL 3 vs 6; COPE 2 vs 9; MOSHABI 2 vs 3; AL. 1 vs 3; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; ECOFORUM 1 vs 7; PA 1 vs 5; ACP 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 8; AIC 0 vs 7; ATM 0 vs 26; BP 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 1; BVP 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 10; IFP 0 vs 3; MIV 0 vs 5; MSM 0 vs 2; Civic Warriors 0 vs 1; RUA 0 vs 3; SCP 0 vs 3; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 109 times in 5 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: Polokwane's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
