About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 49 080 · All 4 699 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 4 699 voting districts here (1 874 838 of 3 337 532). The IEC publishes 56.4%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2011 election for the same province, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 55513 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (55550); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 4887080 differs from the sum of party rows 4887043 by -37; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: Buffalo City: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 12223 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (12255); we show each ballot's own votes.
