About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 301 · spoilt 141 · special votes 649 · All 15 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 15 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 15 voting districts here (4 299 of 7 595). The IEC publishes 56.9%.
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 1 960 vs 4 040; UDM 980 vs 1 975; SACP 500 vs 867; EFF 254 vs 506; ATM 238 vs 470; DA 75 vs 147; AIC 28 vs 54; PAC 22 vs 43; AHC 20 vs 29; MKP 18 vs 37; APC 14 vs 23; AUC 8 vs 20; COPE 8 vs 13; RISE 7 vs 11; ActionSA 6 vs 12; ACDP 5 vs 15; ALJAMA 4 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 10; VF PLUS 3 vs 9; ACT 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 4; ARECO 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 1; SM 0 vs 1; TBM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 163 times in 15 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.
