About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 0 · All 4 368 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 4 368 voting districts here (1 636 860 of 2 908 106). The IEC publishes 157.8%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2000 election for the same province, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 39878 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (39890); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 4470717 differs from the sum of party rows 4470705 by -12; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: Intsika Yethu: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 589 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (590); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: Intsika Yethu: IEC TotalValidVotes 140800 differs from the sum of party rows 140799 by -1; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: Mhlontlo: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 1455 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (1466); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: Mhlontlo: IEC TotalValidVotes 145302 differs from the sum of party rows 145291 by -11; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this province is 157.79%; its own counts give 56.29% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
