About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 159 · spoilt 31 · special votes 249 · 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 (3 184 of 9 065). The IEC publishes 35.4%.
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 29 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 074 vs 3 303; MKP 1 021 vs 3 079; ANC 430 vs 1 274; ActionSA 155 vs 465; IFP 123 vs 376; EFF 55 vs 170; MAYIBUYE 49 vs 148; ATM 41 vs 118; ACDP 40 vs 128; VF PLUS 33 vs 101; TRUTH 23 vs 56; PA 13 vs 30; ALJAMA 11 vs 26; AIC 7 vs 19; NGG 7 vs 25; SACP 6 vs 21; NFP 5 vs 15; ACC 3 vs 10; AFNA 3 vs 7; AMSA 3 vs 5; JEP 3 vs 9; KZNI 3 vs 6; MF 3 vs 4; B.M. 2 vs 5; IND 2 vs 11; PAC 2 vs 6; A.B.C.D. 1 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 113 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: Msunduzi's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
