About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 422 · spoilt 115 · special votes 465 · All 6 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)
PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 6 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.
Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 6 voting districts here (4 385 of 8 203). The IEC publishes 54.0%.
The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 362 vs 4 500; ActionSA 730 vs 1 006; EFF 369 vs 603; SACP 199 vs 320; DA 145 vs 231; ATM 141 vs 227; AIC 75 vs 134; MKP 58 vs 91; SM 32 vs 53; PAC 26 vs 39; AUC 25 vs 32; ACDP 22 vs 29; AHC 21 vs 36; ALJAMA 19 vs 37; RISE 18 vs 22; COPE 12 vs 14; VF PLUS 11 vs 20; PA 9 vs 15; PCM 8 vs 11; APC 7 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 11; SDP 5 vs 7; ARECO 2 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 1; TBM 0 vs 1; UDM 0 vs 1 160. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 118 times in 6 voting districts. 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 voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
