About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 388 · spoilt 98 · special votes 152 · 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 (5 445 of 10 127). The IEC publishes 54.3%.
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.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 34 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 2 542 vs 7 945; MKP 1 509 vs 4 423; ANC 639 vs 1 946; ACDP 143 vs 416; IFP 128 vs 388; PA 57 vs 202; VF PLUS 47 vs 163; EFF 31 vs 86; AMSA 26 vs 52; ActionSA 25 vs 77; TRUTH 21 vs 69; IND 19 vs 43; KZNI 19 vs 23; MF 18 vs 33; JEP 13 vs 31; ALJAMA 10 vs 19; ACC 7 vs 22; AFNA 6 vs 8; AIC 5 vs 32; NFP 5 vs 13; SACP 4 vs 11; AMC.ROY. 2 vs 11; APEMO 2 vs 5; B.M. 2 vs 6; NGG 2 vs 6; SAF 1 vs 4; ABC 0 vs 10; ARU 0 vs 8; ATM 0 vs 10; AZAPO 0 vs 2; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 1; MAYIBUYE 0 vs 3; PAC 0 vs 6; UM 0 vs 7. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 140 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Msunduzi's DC 40% result.
