About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 437 · spoilt 46 · special votes 1 218 · 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 (3 410 of 6 056). The IEC publishes 56.9%.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 218 vs 3 661; ANC 824 vs 2 528; EFF 441 vs 1 273; ATM 327 vs 982; VF PLUS 223 vs 691; VFC 113 vs 360; SACP 78 vs 147; ACT 73 vs 245; AIC 29 vs 54; ActionSA 18 vs 57; ACDP 6 vs 14; ICOSA 6 vs 7; PA 6 vs 7; ALM 5 vs 13; IFP 5 vs 14; LABOUR 5 vs 6; URF 4 vs 5; COPE 3 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 9; ARU 1 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 1; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 3; BAWS 0 vs 12; FISA 0 vs 3; MKP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 92 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.
