About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 0 · All 1 258 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 1 258 voting districts here (714 876 of 1 546 728). The IEC publishes 139.0%.
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 7: the IEC's cross-ballot total 1682161 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (1681725); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: party 52: the IEC's cross-ballot total 216695 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (216585); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: Kruger Park DMA: party 7: the IEC's cross-ballot total 871 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (435); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: Kruger Park DMA: party 52: the IEC's cross-ballot total 186 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (76); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this province is 138.99%; its own counts give 46.22% (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.
