About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 130 · spoilt 132 · special votes 377 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (3 984 of 8 180). The IEC publishes 50.6%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 728 vs 3 457; DA 650 vs 1 226; EFF 592 vs 1 136; PA 408 vs 786; ActionSA 140 vs 329; AIC 106 vs 151; VF PLUS 90 vs 183; ATM 59 vs 107; SACP 40 vs 79; MKP 37 vs 57; AHC 26 vs 36; AASD 24 vs 48; ACT 17 vs 36; COPE 17 vs 26; PAC 14 vs 30; ACDP 12 vs 22; ACIM 9 vs 15; BOSA 5 vs 11; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 9; AAC 3 vs 20; LABOUR 3 vs 4; AACUM 2 vs 3; APC 1 vs 3; PMC 1 vs 3; SUN 1 vs 3; UCDP 1 vs 5; MSPV 0 vs 4; NSDF 0 vs 6; SARKO 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 117 times in 6 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.
