About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 981 · spoilt 37 · special votes 56 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (5 506 of 12 118). The IEC publishes 48.9%.
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.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 823 vs 1 658; DA 346 vs 702; EFF 339 vs 660; SACP 73 vs 147; ATM 72 vs 138; P.P 63 vs 125; UDM 49 vs 96; ActionSA 38 vs 84; VF PLUS 26 vs 52; AIC 20 vs 38; ACDP 16 vs 33; AZAPO 14 vs 27; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 20; Mayibuye Civic Movement 14 vs 31; MKP 10 vs 23; AIM 8 vs 15; PAC 5 vs 12; APC 2 vs 4; COPE 2 vs 5; DOP 2 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 4; PA 2 vs 6; E.T.M 1 vs 2; GOOD 1 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 3; APPEIR 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 48.91%; its own counts give 45.44% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 91 times in 4 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.
