About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 7 339 · spoilt 94 · special votes 471 · 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 (7 197 of 15 050). The IEC publishes 48.8%.
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 67 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 960 vs 5 731; ActionSA 1 262 vs 2 859; DA 932 vs 1 829; MKP 693 vs 1 310; EFF 388 vs 754; IFP 201 vs 334; RISE 197 vs 332; VF PLUS 108 vs 236; MAYIBUYE 80 vs 130; ATM 63 vs 124; ARRC. 35 vs 52; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 32 vs 56; PA 31 vs 64; AHC 23 vs 36; AUC 21 vs 26; KYP 20 vs 28; Umphakathi Warona 20 vs 39; SACP 17 vs 30; BOSA 15 vs 29; GAZA 15 vs 25; APC 14 vs 26; PAC 12 vs 29; AZAPO 11 vs 16; AEF 8 vs 9; COPE 7 vs 14; ARA 5 vs 7; POJ 5 vs 9; SDP 5 vs 6; UIM 5 vs 7; ANOSA 4 vs 5; ECOFORUM 4 vs 8; MOVE 4 vs 7; SAPCO 4 vs 5; VSA 4 vs 23; AACUM 3 vs 9; BPSA 3 vs 7; CCC 3 vs 4; EKHETHU 3 vs 5; PMC 3 vs 5; FISA 2 vs 4; LABOUR 2 vs 3; SHOSH 1 vs 2; TRUTH 1 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 18; ACT 0 vs 11; AIC 0 vs 32; ALC 0 vs 8; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; ARM 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 2; CFM 0 vs 1; CHANGE 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 5; ERM 0 vs 3; GFSA 0 vs 2; IN 0 vs 1; IRC 0 vs 2; KCDP 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 5; LBKP 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; MRP 0 vs 4; NADECO 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 4; PRO SA 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 224 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.
