About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 835 · spoilt 90 · special votes 212 · All 13 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 13 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 13 voting districts here (2 757 of 5 917). The IEC publishes 48.1%.
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): UDM 1 286 vs 2 222; ANC 1 068 vs 3 419; ATM 171 vs 573; DA 104 vs 383; AIC 40 vs 60; EFF 17 vs 90; IRP 14 vs 50; MKP 14 vs 54; PAC 11 vs 53; AUC 6 vs 46; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 20; SACP 4 vs 24; OHM 3 vs 11; PEC 1 vs 4; THE VOICE 1 vs 31; ACDP 0 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 10; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 879; ASEP 0 vs 1; COPE 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; LAND 0 vs 6; MRRA 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 3; URF 0 vs 9. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 134 times in 13 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: King Sabata Dalindyebo's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
