About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 12 679 · spoilt 57 · special votes 431 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (12 721 of 20 541). The IEC publishes 58.3%.
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 48 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 10 676 vs 21 423; ActionSA 463 vs 850; MKP 449 vs 964; ANC 387 vs 819; VF PLUS 118 vs 227; EFF 96 vs 145; IFP 94 vs 243; ALJAMA 64 vs 127; ACDP 61 vs 104; MF 30 vs 55; ATM 28 vs 66; 1860NICC 24 vs 34; AMC.ROY. 15 vs 20; TRUTH 14 vs 25; DLC 13 vs 15; PFP 13 vs 28; SUN 8 vs 10; SACP 7 vs 15; ACC 6 vs 8; ERPM 6 vs 16; INDIANCP 6 vs 12; AC 5 vs 6; NGG 5 vs 10; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 9; ARU 3 vs 6; IPP 2 vs 9; OHM 2 vs 5; PEOPLESA 2 vs 3; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 2 vs 4; AIC 1 vs 2; ARECO 1 vs 2; B.M. 1 vs 8; NDF 1 vs 2; NFP 1 vs 4; SAPM 1 vs 2; TA 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 2; AUC 0 vs 1; AZAPO 0 vs 1; GJDP 0 vs 1; IYM 0 vs 1; MOSA 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 4; PFU 0 vs 1; PPF 0 vs 2; SDP 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 58.28%; its own counts give 61.93% (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: 125 times in 5 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.
