About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 758 · spoilt 112 · special votes 390 · 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 (9 548 of 17 742). The IEC publishes 55.0%.

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 49 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 6 102 vs 12 810; PA 780 vs 1 609; H.O.I. 529 vs 1 012; GOOD 223 vs 425; CCC 155 vs 358; VF PLUS 145 vs 248; ANC 135 vs 268; ActionSA 134 vs 312; PMC 131 vs 226; ALJAMA 97 vs 186; EFF 64 vs 126; ACDP 54 vs 131; BOSA 51 vs 86; HLD 47 vs 72; OLA 32 vs 54; PAC 22 vs 28; CMC 21 vs 39; ARA 15 vs 27; LABOUR 12 vs 14; A.C.C. 10 vs 18; D.P.A 9 vs 28; COPE 8 vs 25; SACP 8 vs 11; CAPEXIT 6 vs 18; AIC 5 vs 10; EKHETHU 5 vs 6; TRUTH 5 vs 13; AAC 4 vs 12; SNP 4 vs 5; IFP 3 vs 27; UDM 3 vs 4; SUN 2 vs 3; AZANIA 1 vs 3; K.A.P 1 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 7; SAKKMVP 1 vs 4; UIM 1 vs 2; AAAC 0 vs 3; ABGF 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; AVR 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 6; FREE DEMS 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 3; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 1; OHM 0 vs 1; USA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 200 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.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
