About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 959 · All 17 voting districts in · the IEC marks the results complete

In local elections the IEC adds votes across the ward, PR and district ballots, so we show valid votes per ballot instead of one "votes cast" total.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 17 voting districts here (12 414 of 18 881). The IEC publishes 66.0%.

Note: the IEC's seat calculation lists 3 party rows twice with identical figures; each party is counted once.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.

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