About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 963 · spoilt 81 · special votes 72 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (2 026 of 5 766). The IEC publishes 35.5%.
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 42 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 536 vs 1 882; EFF 302 vs 965; RPP 271 vs 494; BBS 270 vs 781; LABOUR 148 vs 348; DA 108 vs 371; AIC 70 vs 91; ActionSA 39 vs 161; PURPLE 24 vs 64; MKP 22 vs 54; ACP 14 vs 30; SACP 12 vs 33; ARONA 11 vs 20; APC 8 vs 14; VF PLUS 8 vs 30; TSOGANG 7 vs 32; AZAPO 3 vs 13; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 16; AEF 1 vs 6; FISA 1 vs 6; ACDP 0 vs 26; ACG 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; AET 0 vs 2; ARC 0 vs 7; ATM 0 vs 36; BAKANAPC 0 vs 2; CPM 0 vs 1; ECOFORUM 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 18; IP 0 vs 3; L.S.M 0 vs 3; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 0 vs 7; PA 0 vs 5; PMP 0 vs 12; RCF 0 vs 1; SAPA 0 vs 2; SAVE SA 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 2; SLK26 0 vs 21; UAT 0 vs 17; UCDP 0 vs 16.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 111 times in 4 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: Rustenburg's DC 40% result.
