About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 1 960 · spoilt 14 · special votes 223 · All 1 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 1 voting district; 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 1 voting district here (1 960 of 3 606). The IEC publishes 54.4%.

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 23 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 883 vs 2 637; PA 804 vs 2 394; ANC 82 vs 273; PMC 73 vs 202; VF PLUS 25 vs 83; EFF 21 vs 62; ACDP 17 vs 59; ALJAMA 10 vs 19; CCC 8 vs 30; AWEH! 6 vs 14; GOOD 6 vs 19; PAC 5 vs 15; OHM 2 vs 3; PDM 2 vs 12; CAPEXIT 1 vs 5; SACP 1 vs 4; A.C.C. 0 vs 2; ARA 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 2; ICOSA 0 vs 1; MAYIBUYE 0 vs 2; MKP 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 20 times in 1 voting district. 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: Drakenstein's DC 40% result.

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