About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 100 · spoilt 137 · special votes 699 · 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 (3 045 of 6 691). The IEC publishes 46.3%.
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.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 894 vs 2 735; DA 611 vs 1 881; SACP 512 vs 1 381; VF PLUS 272 vs 820; EFF 206 vs 652; MKP 144 vs 289; ACT 124 vs 331; PA 37 vs 78; AIC 31 vs 50; MAYIBUYE 19 vs 70; URF 17 vs 54; IFP 15 vs 38; VFC 14 vs 50; ATM 12 vs 33; ActionSA 11 vs 32; ICOSA 10 vs 23; APC 5 vs 13; LABOUR 5 vs 6; AAC 4 vs 8; ACDP 4 vs 15; ARU 4 vs 5; PAC 4 vs 9; COPE 2 vs 16; ECOFORUM 2 vs 6; TRUTH 2 vs 3; ALM 1 vs 3; FISA 1 vs 4; ACP 0 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; UAT 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 119 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Matjhabeng's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
