About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 33 237 · All 1 531 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 1 531 voting districts here (823 401 of 1 470 999). The IEC publishes 56.2%.
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 27468 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (27475); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 2182860 differs from the sum of party rows 2182853 by -7; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: Mangaung: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 11840 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (11847); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: Mangaung: IEC TotalValidVotes 478812 differs from the sum of party rows 478805 by -7; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
