About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 8 548 · spoilt 79 · special votes 602 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (8 540 of 16 094). The IEC publishes 53.2%.
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 60 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 160 vs 9 942; ActionSA 929 vs 2 082; ANC 878 vs 1 733; EFF 459 vs 957; MKP 364 vs 745; VF PLUS 184 vs 421; RISE 107 vs 209; IFP 70 vs 141; ATM 65 vs 158; PA 47 vs 105; ALJAMA 30 vs 55; MAYIBUYE 27 vs 46; SACP 16 vs 28; BOSA 14 vs 34; PMC 14 vs 31; AIC 9 vs 18; APC 7 vs 9; COPE 6 vs 18; ECOFORUM 6 vs 7; MRP 6 vs 7; AZANIA 5 vs 6; AACUM 4 vs 6; IN 4 vs 8; TRUTH 4 vs 6; ARA 3 vs 5; ARRC. 3 vs 4; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 3 vs 4; MOVE 3 vs 5; AHC 2 vs 8; MF 2 vs 3; OHM 2 vs 4; PAC 2 vs 5; UMBRELLA 2 vs 6; AZAPO 1 vs 3; POJ 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; UIM 1 vs 7; ACDP 0 vs 34; ACT 0 vs 2; AEF 0 vs 2; ALC 0 vs 1; ANOSA 0 vs 1; AUC 0 vs 3; BPSA 0 vs 1; CCC 0 vs 1; CFM 0 vs 1; CHANGE 0 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 2; FISA 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 5; KCDP 0 vs 1; KYP 0 vs 1; LABOUR 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; PCP 0 vs 3; PRO SA 0 vs 1; SAPCO 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 2; VSA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 142 times in 6 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.
