About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 864 · spoilt 17 · special votes 487 · 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 (6 859 of 9 338). The IEC publishes 73.6%.
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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 106 vs 10 154; VF PLUS 786 vs 1 531; ANC 487 vs 1 021; EFF 115 vs 244; ActionSA 113 vs 249; ACDP 52 vs 116; PA 35 vs 65; SACP 27 vs 54; ACT 21 vs 41; MKP 21 vs 49; BOSA 19 vs 32; ATM 18 vs 46; AIC 9 vs 14; AHC 7 vs 10; PAC 7 vs 11; COPE 5 vs 6; ACIM 4 vs 7; SUN 4 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 5; AASD 1 vs 2; IFP 1 vs 2; PMC 1 vs 6; UCDP 1 vs 4; MSPV 0 vs 1; NSDF 0 vs 1; SARKO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 104 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.
