About these figures
Official IEC figures: how we add them up
special votes 21 930 · All 4 358 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 4 358 voting districts here (2 854 867 of 4 648 733). The IEC publishes 61.5%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2006 election for the same province, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
