About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 230 · spoilt 142 · special votes 460 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (7 228 of 13 933). The IEC publishes 52.0%.

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.

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 61 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 073 vs 3 893; IFP 1 383 vs 2 683; ActionSA 1 141 vs 2 750; MKP 720 vs 1 526; DA 599 vs 1 198; EFF 406 vs 778; AIC 88 vs 102; RISE 85 vs 153; ATM 82 vs 149; PAC 70 vs 120; VF PLUS 64 vs 167; MAYIBUYE 55 vs 86; AHC 39 vs 56; NFP 39 vs 76; BOSA 30 vs 55; UMBRELLA 26 vs 37; PA 23 vs 45; ACT 17 vs 25; SACP 17 vs 32; COPE 14 vs 26; ECOFORUM 9 vs 13; IRC 9 vs 10; Umphakathi Warona 9 vs 18; AZAPO 8 vs 13; UIM 6 vs 7; AGF 5 vs 6; AEF 4 vs 8; APC 4 vs 9; AUC 4 vs 8; POJ 4 vs 5; TRUTH 4 vs 7; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; EKHETHU 3 vs 10; NADECO 3 vs 4; AZANIA 2 vs 4; KYP 2 vs 5; LABOUR 2 vs 3; MOVE 2 vs 4; PMC 2 vs 3; VSA 2 vs 4; ARU 1 vs 7; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 1 vs 2; MF 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; AACUM 0 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 7; ACP 0 vs 1; ALC 0 vs 7; ARM 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 1; ICM 0 vs 7; LAND 0 vs 4; MRP 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 4; OHM 0 vs 2; PCP 0 vs 1; PRO SA 0 vs 2; SAPCO 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 7. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 202 times in 7 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.
