About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 874 · spoilt 106 · special votes 428 · 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 (5 914 of 12 088). The IEC publishes 49.0%.
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.
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 56 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 095 vs 4 242; EFF 871 vs 1 615; ActionSA 811 vs 1 837; MKP 686 vs 1 346; DA 408 vs 736; Umphakathi Kai One Party 166 vs 258; PAC 95 vs 175; UMBRELLA 88 vs 160; ATM 66 vs 116; AIC 61 vs 114; IFP 55 vs 118; VF PLUS 38 vs 81; MAYIBUYE 32 vs 62; SACP 31 vs 50; EKHETHU 25 vs 42; RISE 24 vs 45; ACT 22 vs 52; AHC 22 vs 42; APC 20 vs 35; AUC 14 vs 53; ARA 13 vs 22; ACDP 12 vs 27; SDP 12 vs 13; O.D 10 vs 22; BOSA 9 vs 17; TRUTH 8 vs 16; COPE 7 vs 20; MF 7 vs 12; APSP 5 vs 8; ECOFORUM 5 vs 38; PA 4 vs 8; PMC 4 vs 9; AACUM 3 vs 6; FISA 3 vs 6; NFP 3 vs 7; ICM 2 vs 3; MOVE 2 vs 3; P 2 vs 3; AGF 1 vs 6; ANOSA 1 vs 2; ARRC. 1 vs 5; LABOUR 1 vs 3; OHM 1 vs 2; ABCSP 0 vs 9; ACP 0 vs 4; ALC 0 vs 2; AZAPO 0 vs 12; CKP 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 3; GAZA 0 vs 2; GFSA 0 vs 1; IN 0 vs 1; LBKP 0 vs 1; MCM 0 vs 1; MRP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 159 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.
