About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 219 · spoilt 19 · special votes 71 · 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 (2 224 of 4 633). The IEC publishes 48.0%.
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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 870 vs 2 646; VF PLUS 322 vs 949; ANC 294 vs 942; EFF 207 vs 610; SMM 196 vs 581; ActionSA 119 vs 391; ACT 28 vs 79; KAM 27 vs 52; SACP 25 vs 72; AIC 20 vs 25; ATM 17 vs 49; MCA 14 vs 43; MKP 12 vs 33; PA 10 vs 20; IFP 8 vs 16; PM 5 vs 8; UIM 5 vs 9; FDCM 3 vs 15; PAC 3 vs 15; MPPF 2 vs 7; COPE 1 vs 7; LENTSWE 1 vs 3; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 14; Moqhaka Community Forum 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 67 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: Metsimaholo's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
