About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 17 207 · spoilt 39 · special votes 1 846 · 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 (17 270 of 26 231). The IEC publishes 66.1%.
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.
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 51 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 12 105 vs 23 682; ActionSA 1 896 vs 4 303; VF PLUS 790 vs 1 549; ANC 787 vs 1 640; EFF 532 vs 1 118; RISE 335 vs 638; MKP 158 vs 337; ATM 93 vs 203; BOSA 80 vs 174; ACDP 69 vs 141; PA 68 vs 134; MAYIBUYE 27 vs 55; NADECO 27 vs 28; PMC 25 vs 42; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 20 vs 22; SACP 19 vs 36; ALJAMA 18 vs 43; COPE 16 vs 30; KYP 16 vs 18; PAC 12 vs 22; MOVE 11 vs 21; APC 6 vs 8; OHM 5 vs 12; AZAPO 4 vs 9; SAPCO 4 vs 6; COMBAT 3 vs 7; MF 3 vs 5; AIC 2 vs 3; POJ 2 vs 5; TRUTH 2 vs 4; FISA 1 vs 2; NFP 1 vs 3; SHOSH 1 vs 2; UMBRELLA 1 vs 2; AACUM 0 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ALC 0 vs 1; ANOSA 0 vs 1; CHANGE 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 4; ECOFORUM 0 vs 2; GAZA 0 vs 2; GFSA 0 vs 2; ICM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 26; LAND 0 vs 1; LBKP 0 vs 2; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 1; PRO SA 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 11. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 131 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.
