About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 495 · spoilt 34 · special votes 310 · 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 (3 491 of 6 037). The IEC publishes 58.2%.
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 1 260 vs 3 906; IFP 797 vs 2 291; ANC 782 vs 2 247; DA 153 vs 520; PVP 78 vs 174; ActionSA 63 vs 219; NFP 57 vs 165; CFP 50 vs 98; IRC 50 vs 236; MPM 29 vs 69; EFF 25 vs 94; KZNI 17 vs 24; SSM 14 vs 38; AAM 13 vs 30; NDRF 11 vs 31; VF PLUS 11 vs 42; JEP 10 vs 13; A.B.C.D. 6 vs 13; ACC 6 vs 10; SACP 6 vs 21; WAYO 6 vs 18; ARM.JBS 4 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 21; AEF 2 vs 10; ARU 2 vs 6; LABOUR 2 vs 3; SDP 2 vs 7; B.M. 1 vs 9; ACDP 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 4; AUP 0 vs 3; IA 0 vs 7; ISP 0 vs 8.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 105 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.
