About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 063 · spoilt 34 · special votes 102 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (3 029 of 5 111). The IEC publishes 60.2%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 1 134 vs 3 371; IFP 807 vs 2 367; ANC 406 vs 1 208; ActionSA 138 vs 425; IRC 125 vs 267; DA 111 vs 342; EFF 54 vs 162; AAM 47 vs 131; NDRF 41 vs 123; NFP 29 vs 69; VF PLUS 19 vs 59; SACP 15 vs 49; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 40; MPM 11 vs 33; AUP 10 vs 25; A.B.C.D. 9 vs 14; KZNI 9 vs 26; ATM 8 vs 21; SDP 7 vs 18; AMC.ROY. 6 vs 19; JEP 6 vs 14; LABOUR 6 vs 10; AEF 4 vs 13; ARM.JBS 3 vs 6; CFP 3 vs 8; ALJAMA 2 vs 4; ARU 2 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 2; B.M. 0 vs 1; IA 0 vs 13; ISP 0 vs 9; PVP 0 vs 179; SSM 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 108 times in 4 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
