About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 116 · spoilt 56 · special votes 253 · 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 (2 138 of 4 565). The IEC publishes 47.1%.

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 20 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 282 vs 3 994; A.D 317 vs 962; UDM 119 vs 401; ATM 85 vs 264; PA 80 vs 85; DA 53 vs 153; SACP 43 vs 131; EFF 35 vs 112; BPM 18 vs 57; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 17; PAC 7 vs 21; LABOUR 5 vs 6; ACDP 3 vs 10; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; AMAMBO 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; GKCM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; MKP 0 vs 109; VF PLUS 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 119 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: Mbhashe's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
