About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 877 · spoilt 61 · special votes 1 138 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (4 874 of 8 311). The IEC publishes 58.7%.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 230 vs 4 563; UDM 1 509 vs 2 986; EFF 318 vs 635; SACP 292 vs 561; DA 101 vs 208; PAC 77 vs 160; SM 52 vs 89; ActionSA 39 vs 82; ALJAMA 35 vs 64; AIC 29 vs 42; ATM 25 vs 47; AHC 19 vs 36; AUC 16 vs 19; RISE 13 vs 25; ACDP 10 vs 16; APC 9 vs 18; MKP 8 vs 12; PA 7 vs 13; SDP 6 vs 7; VF PLUS 6 vs 18; COPE 4 vs 7; OLA 3 vs 5; PCM 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 2; TBM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 133 times in 8 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.
