About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 433 · spoilt 112 · special votes 647 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (3 441 of 11 508). The IEC publishes 29.9%.

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 37 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 013 vs 2 037; ActionSA 570 vs 1 196; MKP 520 vs 1 022; EFF 472 vs 894; DA 327 vs 708; IFP 197 vs 399; ATM 58 vs 130; MAYIBUYE 46 vs 82; VF PLUS 23 vs 51; RISE 13 vs 28; BOSA 10 vs 17; PA 8 vs 16; AIC 5 vs 13; SACP 5 vs 7; ACDP 4 vs 10; AHC 3 vs 5; APC 3 vs 4; AZAPO 2 vs 4; COPE 2 vs 5; PMC 2 vs 4; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 1 vs 2; UMBRELLA 1 vs 3; VSA 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 3; AEF 0 vs 1; ANOSA 0 vs 1; ARA 0 vs 1; ARM 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 1; ICM 0 vs 4; KYP 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 4; PAC 0 vs 5; SDP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 1; UIM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 48 times in 2 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.
