About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 037 · spoilt 109 · special votes 646 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (5 967 of 11 432). The IEC publishes 52.8%.
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 2016 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 55 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 373 vs 4 715; ActionSA 996 vs 2 423; MKP 497 vs 1 062; EFF 471 vs 972; DA 424 vs 865; PAC 99 vs 201; SACP 65 vs 141; MAYIBUYE 42 vs 73; VF PLUS 39 vs 71; RISE 37 vs 64; SAPCO 34 vs 63; IFP 31 vs 58; PA 30 vs 59; AIC 21 vs 54; ACDP 19 vs 35; ATM 18 vs 44; UMBRELLA 17 vs 28; Umphakathi Kai One Party 16 vs 36; COPE 7 vs 13; ACP 5 vs 11; ARA 5 vs 9; APC 4 vs 14; AACUM 3 vs 8; ANOSA 3 vs 5; ECOFORUM 3 vs 7; KYP 3 vs 5; MOVE 3 vs 9; MRP 3 vs 4; PALCOF 3 vs 4; BOSA 2 vs 8; MF 2 vs 6; SDP 2 vs 3; AGF 1 vs 3; AUC 1 vs 8; AZAPO 1 vs 5; EKHETHU 1 vs 3; FISA 1 vs 2; ICM 1 vs 10; IRASA 1 vs 3; TRUTH 1 vs 8; UIM 1 vs 3; ABCSP 0 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 4; AHC 0 vs 10; ALC 0 vs 10; ALJAMA 0 vs 3; APSP 0 vs 3; BPSA 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 1; GFSA 0 vs 1; MSJ 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 3; SUN 0 vs 9; UAT 0 vs 8. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 142 times in 5 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.
