About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 865 · spoilt 86 · special votes 747 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (3 948 of 8 037). The IEC publishes 49.3%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 747 vs 3 683; DA 536 vs 1 132; PA 333 vs 682; EFF 308 vs 653; VF PLUS 144 vs 306; ActionSA 105 vs 238; MKP 45 vs 93; AIC 36 vs 72; ATM 36 vs 74; AASD 31 vs 99; ACIM 23 vs 45; NSDF 16 vs 32; ACDP 14 vs 26; ACT 14 vs 25; AHC 11 vs 22; SACP 10 vs 28; PAC 8 vs 21; COPE 7 vs 17; BOSA 5 vs 22; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 11; AACUM 4 vs 8; AAC 3 vs 11; APC 3 vs 8; IFP 3 vs 4; SUN 2 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 3; PMC 1 vs 4; URF 1 vs 5; MSPV 0 vs 6; UAT 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 157 times in 8 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.
