About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 391 · spoilt 36 · special votes 499 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (2 391 of 4 265). The IEC publishes 56.1%.

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 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 752 vs 2 255; SDP 667 vs 1 953; DA 511 vs 1 546; VF PLUS 228 vs 680; EFF 82 vs 238; ACDP 51 vs 141; MKP 17 vs 55; SACP 14 vs 27; AUM 12 vs 31; ActionSA 11 vs 39; ATM 5 vs 20; PAC 3 vs 7; APC 1 vs 3; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 4; AEF 0 vs 2; BRA 0 vs 1; COPE 0 vs 1; DCM 0 vs 2; GAZA 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 8; SAHRA 0 vs 6; SUN 0 vs 2; TWMP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 9. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 40 times in 2 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: Thaba Chweu's DC 40% result.

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