About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 961 · spoilt 43 · special votes 599 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (4 987 of 9 119). The IEC publishes 54.8%.
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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 258 vs 4 576; UDM 1 102 vs 2 354; EFF 739 vs 1 328; SACP 262 vs 504; DA 155 vs 324; AIC 59 vs 98; MKP 56 vs 100; ATM 54 vs 118; ActionSA 38 vs 79; SM 34 vs 67; RISE 32 vs 66; PAC 31 vs 72; AHC 23 vs 42; VF PLUS 18 vs 35; ACT 15 vs 23; ACDP 14 vs 28; COPE 7 vs 8; APC 6 vs 12; ALJAMA 4 vs 8; AUC 4 vs 13; PA 3 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 1; OLA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 93 times in 5 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.
