About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 979 · spoilt 54 · special votes 361 · 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 (3 971 of 7 763). The IEC publishes 51.4%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 053 vs 2 153; DA 1 024 vs 2 034; PA 795 vs 1 596; EFF 360 vs 708; VF PLUS 241 vs 490; MSPV 99 vs 173; ActionSA 95 vs 208; MKP 39 vs 70; AIC 32 vs 44; ATM 23 vs 52; SACP 21 vs 34; ACDP 20 vs 35; PAC 20 vs 41; UAT 20 vs 35; NSDF 12 vs 22; BOSA 10 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 13; AAC 8 vs 13; AHC 7 vs 14; AASD 6 vs 11; ACIM 5 vs 10; IFP 5 vs 8; APC 4 vs 9; COPE 4 vs 6; PMC 4 vs 10; AACUM 3 vs 9; SUN 3 vs 6; LABOUR 2 vs 6; ACT 0 vs 8; SARKO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 102 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.
