About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 0 · All 1 441 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 1 441 voting districts here (1 175 562 of 2 301 371). The IEC publishes 121.4%.

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: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 7 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 080 218 vs 1 078 273; ANC 1 105 567 vs 1 101 636; ID 292 264 vs 291 796; ACDP 74 813 vs 74 685; ICOSA 32 009 vs 31 645; VF PLUS 19 429 vs 19 381; CI 1 483 vs 1 457. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this province is 121.39%; its own counts give 51.08% (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: 19 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.

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

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