About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 0 · All 4 064 voting districts in · the IEC marks the results complete

In local elections the IEC adds votes across the ward, PR and district ballots, so we show valid votes per ballot instead of one "votes cast" total.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 4 064 voting districts here (1 972 358 of 3 964 817). The IEC publishes 133.9%.

The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2000 election for the same province, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.

Note: party 7: the IEC's cross-ballot total 2423351 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (2422972); we show each ballot's own votes.

Note: party 3: the IEC's cross-ballot total 2001184 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (2000749); we show each ballot's own votes.

Note: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 45077 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (45088); we show each ballot's own votes.

Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 5200776 differs from the sum of party rows 5200765 by -11; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this province is 133.89%; its own counts give 49.75% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 9 times in 5 municipalitys. 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 municipality's own page lists the IEC's figures.

Note: eThekwini: IEC TotalValidVotes 1203210 differs from the sum of party rows 1203199 by -11; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
