About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 561 · spoilt 42 · special votes 164 · 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 (3 475 of 6 431). The IEC publishes 55.4%.
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 35 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): IFP 1 354 vs 3 956; MKP 984 vs 3 163; ANC 312 vs 803; DA 182 vs 555; NDRF 119 vs 336; IA 98 vs 244; EFF 86 vs 264; IRC 77 vs 228; ActionSA 72 vs 279; AAM 59 vs 164; ATM 21 vs 68; CFP 20 vs 52; LABOUR 17 vs 34; AMC.ROY. 15 vs 21; SACP 14 vs 33; NFP 13 vs 38; JEP 11 vs 16; A.B.C.D. 9 vs 15; KZNI 9 vs 25; MPM 8 vs 28; VF PLUS 5 vs 33; WAYO 5 vs 11; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; ARU 3 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 18; SDP 3 vs 5; ARM.JBS 2 vs 6; B.M. 2 vs 5; AEF 1 vs 8; AUP 1 vs 7; ACC 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 2; ISP 0 vs 3; PVP 0 vs 7; SSM 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 116 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.
