About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 841 · spoilt 51 · special votes 617 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (2 860 of 5 840). The IEC publishes 49.0%.
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 29 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 408 vs 4 060; DA 325 vs 1 111; ActionSA 290 vs 941; EFF 277 vs 874; APC 224 vs 641; UAT 93 vs 268; VF PLUS 47 vs 147; MAYIBUYE 41 vs 126; MKP 21 vs 52; SACP 15 vs 36; GAZA 8 vs 25; PFC 8 vs 11; Ba-Phalaborwa Community Party 7 vs 16; PAC 6 vs 14; PA 5 vs 10; AFP 3 vs 13; COPE 3 vs 4; AAM 2 vs 4; ATM 1 vs 8; EIA 1 vs 3; Mopani Residents Association 1 vs 8; ACDP 0 vs 5; ACO 0 vs 1; BOSA 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 2; IRC 0 vs 1; LIMA 0 vs 1; MCMPARTY 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 123 times in 8 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: Ba-Phalaborwa's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
