About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 819 · spoilt 92 · special votes 198 · All 11 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 11 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 11 voting districts here (2 822 of 7 179). The IEC publishes 39.7%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
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 1 434 vs 4 321; EFF 472 vs 1 329; DA 301 vs 841; ActionSA 169 vs 480; SACP 162 vs 439; VF PLUS 34 vs 112; MSM 26 vs 83; MAYIBUYE 21 vs 50; MAGAENG 18 vs 59; BTW 17 vs 65; COPE 12 vs 33; ACDP 11 vs 27; MKP 11 vs 23; RISE 9 vs 13; ECOFORUM 5 vs 50; A.S 4 vs 21; PAC 4 vs 13; KCDP 3 vs 7; PA 3 vs 8; BOSA 2 vs 10; BVP 1 vs 4; ACP 0 vs 2; AHC 0 vs 29; AIC 0 vs 13; ATM 0 vs 7; AZAPO 0 vs 4; BPSA 0 vs 3; DOP 0 vs 41; IFP 0 vs 2; MIV 0 vs 1; NRP 0 vs 31; SAREA 0 vs 2; SCP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 9; UPPA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 179 times in 11 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.
