About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 11 980 · spoilt 183 · special votes 889 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (12 020 of 19 387). The IEC publishes 62.2%.

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 67 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 930 vs 10 564; PA 4 509 vs 7 931; ActionSA 428 vs 1 028; ANC 404 vs 929; ALJAMA 302 vs 617; PMC 256 vs 483; CFM 169 vs 332; VF PLUS 150 vs 488; ACDP 127 vs 296; AIC 96 vs 164; EFF 75 vs 191; ARM 42 vs 73; RISE 34 vs 90; ARRC. 21 vs 24; TRUTH 21 vs 30; MKP 20 vs 46; ACP 17 vs 28; BOSA 12 vs 16; PAC 12 vs 30; CCC 10 vs 24; IFP 10 vs 19; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 19; APC 8 vs 17; IMS 8 vs 12; COPE 7 vs 31; ATM 6 vs 14; SACP 6 vs 12; ARA 5 vs 10; MAWUSA 5 vs 9; SHOSH 5 vs 9; VSA 5 vs 12; UMBRELLA 4 vs 5; AUC 3 vs 4; MF 3 vs 4; MOVE 3 vs 4; AGF 2 vs 3; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 2 vs 5; LABOUR 2 vs 3; Umphakathi Warona 2 vs 3; OHM 2 vs 3; ACT 1 vs 5; AHC 1 vs 2; ARU 1 vs 4; AZANIA 1 vs 4; AZAPO 1 vs 2; ECOFORUM 1 vs 3; FISA 1 vs 3; IN 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; AACUM 0 vs 2; AEF 0 vs 2; ALC 0 vs 3; ANOSA 0 vs 1; BPSA 0 vs 2; CHANGE 0 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 3; ERM 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 3; GFSA 0 vs 3; ICM 0 vs 2; IRC 0 vs 1; LAND 0 vs 5; NADECO 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; PCP 0 vs 1; PRO SA 0 vs 1; SAPCO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 250 times in 9 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.
