About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 590 · spoilt 86 · special votes 223 · 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 (3 734 of 6 993). The IEC publishes 53.4%.
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): MKP 1 478 vs 4 482; IFP 976 vs 2 945; ANC 339 vs 881; DA 312 vs 926; IRC 69 vs 244; AAM 50 vs 149; EFF 44 vs 158; ActionSA 41 vs 138; NDRF 31 vs 83; PVP 27 vs 83; VF PLUS 16 vs 64; MPM 15 vs 46; ATM 12 vs 34; NFP 12 vs 27; MAYIBUYE 10 vs 33; KZNI 8 vs 22; LABOUR 8 vs 13; AEF 7 vs 54; CFP 7 vs 12; ISP 7 vs 24; ACC 6 vs 8; ALJAMA 6 vs 12; JEP 6 vs 9; SACP 6 vs 23; AMC.ROY. 5 vs 10; ARM.JBS 5 vs 7; SDP 1 vs 3; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 6; ARU 0 vs 89; AUP 0 vs 7; B.M. 0 vs 5; IA 0 vs 12; SSM 0 vs 2; WAYO 0 vs 41.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 135 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
