About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 528 · spoilt 79 · special votes 528 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (3 517 of 7 167). The IEC publishes 49.2%.

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 36 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 006 vs 6 054; EFF 376 vs 1 069; ActionSA 355 vs 1 058; DA 187 vs 620; SACP 179 vs 508; MIV 72 vs 214; RISE 41 vs 44; DOP 39 vs 139; UAT 35 vs 99; VF PLUS 28 vs 88; ECOFORUM 23 vs 63; MAYIBUYE 21 vs 55; BTW 19 vs 55; UPPA 15 vs 47; RUA 10 vs 30; COPE 5 vs 16; A.S 4 vs 25; MKP 4 vs 7; MOSHABI 4 vs 5; ALJAMA 2 vs 4; MSM 2 vs 9; ACDP 1 vs 10; ATM 1 vs 2; BOSA 1 vs 7; MAGAENG 1 vs 4; ACP 0 vs 3; AHC 0 vs 7; AIC 0 vs 13; AL. 0 vs 1; BP 0 vs 1; BPSA 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 3; Civic Warriors 0 vs 1; NRP 0 vs 1; SCP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 140 times in 7 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: Polokwane's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
