About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 308 · spoilt 141 · special votes 1 555 · 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 (4 669 of 8 982). The IEC publishes 59.1%.
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 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 3 127 vs 5 963; UDM 1 344 vs 2 476; DA 162 vs 314; EFF 148 vs 267; PAC 89 vs 126; SACP 65 vs 131; AIC 46 vs 85; ATM 41 vs 82; MAYIBUYE 23 vs 41; APC 20 vs 31; AHC 16 vs 28; ALJAMA 15 vs 26; ActionSA 14 vs 30; MKP 10 vs 18; VF PLUS 10 vs 17; AUC 8 vs 15; COPE 8 vs 19; PA 6 vs 9; RISE 5 vs 9; ACDP 4 vs 10; ARECO 2 vs 3; SDP 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 4; IFP 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 59.13%; its own counts give 51.98% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 136 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.
