About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 46 559 · All 4 792 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 4 792 voting districts here (3 308 189 of 5 411 237). The IEC publishes 61.5%.
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 144488 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (144586); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 8612212 differs from the sum of party rows 8612114 by -98; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 4 times in 4 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: The total across ballots doesn't match the parties' votes: 4 times in 4 municipalitys. The IEC's total of valid votes across all ballots differs from the sum of its party figures. We show each ballot's own totals and don't publish the IEC's total across ballots. 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.
