About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 788 · spoilt 55 · special votes 581 · 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 (3 900 of 8 586). The IEC publishes 45.5%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 35 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 256 vs 4 445; UDM 484 vs 1 041; EFF 218 vs 457; Mayibuye Civic Movement 153 vs 319; DA 118 vs 275; MAYIBUYE 116 vs 204; SWO 84 vs 185; AIC 72 vs 150; MKP 50 vs 96; ActionSA 44 vs 100; ATM 37 vs 88; SACP 25 vs 51; PAC 12 vs 25; VF PLUS 12 vs 24; AZAPO 10 vs 26; DM 10 vs 17; ACDP 5 vs 12; COPE 5 vs 17; SDP 4 vs 6; APC 3 vs 4; E.T.M 3 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 3; P.P 2 vs 3; ALJAMA 1 vs 3; CKP 1 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 2; NA 1 vs 3; OHM 1 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 1; AIM 0 vs 4; APPEIR 0 vs 3; GOOD 0 vs 1; PCAM 0 vs 2; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 112 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.
