About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 778 · spoilt 76 · special votes 389 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (7 967 of 15 234). The IEC publishes 52.5%.

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 65 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 433 vs 4 843; ActionSA 1 740 vs 4 004; DA 1 057 vs 2 178; MKP 584 vs 1 150; EFF 543 vs 1 082; IFP 239 vs 433; ATM 103 vs 186; RISE 86 vs 150; VF PLUS 82 vs 200; MAYIBUYE 78 vs 134; PA 62 vs 110; UAT 53 vs 116; POJ 43 vs 71; BOSA 37 vs 58; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 36 vs 67; SACP 28 vs 52; AHC 26 vs 46; ACT 17 vs 24; AIC 15 vs 38; PAC 15 vs 32; APC 14 vs 21; ALJAMA 12 vs 17; GAZA 12 vs 24; COPE 9 vs 13; AZAPO 7 vs 16; TRUTH 6 vs 15; ARA 5 vs 8; ARU 5 vs 8; ECOFORUM 5 vs 9; AUC 4 vs 9; AACUM 3 vs 7; AZANIA 3 vs 6; AEF 2 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 5; MOVE 2 vs 6; Umphakathi Warona 2 vs 9; EKHETHU 1 vs 2; KYP 1 vs 2; OHM 1 vs 3; SAPCO 1 vs 3; UMBRELLA 1 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 11; ACP 0 vs 3; ALC 0 vs 6; ARM 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 1; CFM 0 vs 1; CHANGE 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 3; ERM 0 vs 1; GFSA 0 vs 1; ICM 0 vs 5; IMS 0 vs 3; IN 0 vs 1; IRC 0 vs 3; KCDP 0 vs 1; LABOUR 0 vs 2; LAND 0 vs 5; LBKP 0 vs 1; MRP 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 7; PMC 0 vs 1; PRO SA 0 vs 1; VSA 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 231 times in 8 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.
