About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 886 · spoilt 59 · special votes 675 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (7 038 of 12 230). The IEC publishes 57.6%.
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 40 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 928 vs 5 983; ACSA 1 592 vs 4 350; ANC 1 568 vs 4 871; MKP 481 vs 1 357; ActionSA 390 vs 1 276; EFF 298 vs 888; PAC 133 vs 503; SACP 81 vs 232; ALJAMA 53 vs 217; MOVE 42 vs 72; ATM 37 vs 108; ACDP 30 vs 58; DITAU 29 vs 51; VF PLUS 25 vs 190; APC 20 vs 35; COPE 20 vs 49; MAYIBUYE 16 vs 53; KYP 14 vs 35; SARKO 11 vs 40; BOSA 9 vs 24; VAAL 7 vs 38; ARA 6 vs 25; IRC 5 vs 8; AAC 4 vs 8; AEF 4 vs 7; UCO 4 vs 10; TRUTH 3 vs 7; TYM 3 vs 11; AAA 1 vs 4; AZAPO 1 vs 2; AAAIC 0 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 9; ACT 0 vs 8; ANF 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 31; PA 0 vs 52; SDP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 24; VDM 0 vs 11. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 90 times in 3 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Emfuleni's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
