About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 682 · spoilt 34 · special votes 69 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 694 of 5 818). The IEC publishes 46.3%.
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 34 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 737 vs 2 299; IFP 510 vs 1 545; ActionSA 488 vs 1 505; ANC 276 vs 830; DA 137 vs 411; IRC 80 vs 249; IA 76 vs 185; AAM 57 vs 206; NFP 48 vs 107; VF PLUS 30 vs 102; MAYIBUYE 27 vs 56; EFF 26 vs 68; NDRF 26 vs 78; SACP 19 vs 45; ISP 15 vs 44; KZNI 15 vs 32; A.B.C.D. 12 vs 18; ATM 10 vs 29; AMC.ROY. 8 vs 20; MPM 7 vs 14; AEF 4 vs 11; ARM.JBS 4 vs 8; CFP 3 vs 14; PVP 3 vs 7; JEP 2 vs 7; SDP 2 vs 4; WAYO 2 vs 3; ACC 0 vs 6; ACDP 0 vs 4; ARU 0 vs 17; AUP 0 vs 7; B.M. 0 vs 3; LABOUR 0 vs 1; SSM 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 76 times in 3 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
