About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 571 · spoilt 54 · special votes 528 · 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 (3 475 of 6 758). The IEC publishes 53.6%.
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.
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): DA 1 140 vs 3 062; ANC 1 110 vs 3 319; EFF 281 vs 708; URF 250 vs 521; VFC 194 vs 656; ATM 100 vs 305; UAT 72 vs 199; ActionSA 66 vs 213; SACP 54 vs 154; ACT 50 vs 173; VF PLUS 45 vs 153; ALM 40 vs 110; AIC 23 vs 45; ACDP 15 vs 49; ECOFORUM 15 vs 412; PA 15 vs 28; FISA 10 vs 168; APC 9 vs 12; MAYIBUYE 8 vs 18; IFP 7 vs 13; COPE 6 vs 28; LABOUR 2 vs 4; TRUTH 1 vs 18; AAC 0 vs 5; ACP 0 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; ARU 0 vs 6; BAWS 0 vs 1; BBM 0 vs 1; ICOSA 0 vs 6; MKP 0 vs 21; PAC 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 53.6%; its own counts give 51.42% (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: 93 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Matjhabeng's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
