About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 296 · spoilt 19 · special votes 182 · 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 (2 290 of 4 125). The IEC publishes 55.7%.
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 29 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 725 vs 2 393; PA 408 vs 1 282; ANC 298 vs 816; EFF 278 vs 801; KF 147 vs 459; SACP 93 vs 237; UPPA 78 vs 151; PBI 75 vs 199; CCX 63 vs 145; KIM 43 vs 77; VF PLUS 20 vs 63; CCC 17 vs 62; PMC 10 vs 33; ACDP 9 vs 31; GOOD 3 vs 13; OLA 3 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 4; CAPEXIT 1 vs 9; IPM 1 vs 5; OHM 1 vs 3; ARA 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 3; BOSA 0 vs 3; EUPP 0 vs 5; ICOSA 0 vs 2; KCA 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 7; Kannaland Independent Party 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 65 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: Knysna's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
