About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 789 · spoilt 107 · special votes 861 · 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 (2 939 of 7 163). The IEC publishes 52.9%.

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 37 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 261 vs 3 962; EFF 729 vs 2 410; SACP 502 vs 1 310; SAPA 160 vs 301; ActionSA 95 vs 340; MKP 79 vs 204; DA 65 vs 193; LABOUR 59 vs 123; PA 40 vs 105; APC 18 vs 39; FISA 14 vs 27; AEF 13 vs 37; ATM 13 vs 54; AET 7 vs 19; AZAPO 5 vs 10; SLK26 5 vs 8; UCDP 5 vs 10; VF PLUS 5 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 43; RPP 4 vs 5; SDP 4 vs 6; ECOFORUM 3 vs 4; BBS 2 vs 23; PURPLE 2 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 14; ACG 0 vs 12; ACP 0 vs 6; AIC 0 vs 28; ARC 0 vs 3; ARONA 0 vs 2; ERM 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 7; IP 0 vs 11; L.S.M 0 vs 3; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 0 vs 2; TSOGANG 0 vs 10; UAT 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 52.9%; its own counts give 41.03% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 85 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: Rustenburg's DC 40% result.

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