About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 716 · spoilt 81 · special votes 376 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (3 705 of 8 913). The IEC publishes 41.8%.
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 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 156 vs 2 318; DA 927 vs 1 901; EFF 419 vs 877; PA 307 vs 612; ActionSA 145 vs 314; SACP 79 vs 160; UCDP 74 vs 151; VF PLUS 70 vs 150; ATM 48 vs 97; BOSA 43 vs 80; ACT 36 vs 67; MKP 30 vs 53; NSDF 29 vs 59; AHC 28 vs 40; ACDP 16 vs 35; ACIM 16 vs 27; APC 13 vs 20; COPE 11 vs 25; AIC 10 vs 27; MAYIBUYE 10 vs 19; AAC 8 vs 16; PAC 6 vs 20; AACUM 5 vs 7; LABOUR 5 vs 9; SARKO 5 vs 8; IFP 4 vs 8; URF 4 vs 5; PMC 1 vs 2; SUN 1 vs 2; AASD 0 vs 7; MSPV 0 vs 13; UAT 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 158 times in 7 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.
