About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 545 · spoilt 88 · special votes 367 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (7 595 of 15 007). The IEC publishes 50.9%.

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 65 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): IFP 2 413 vs 4 576; ANC 1 704 vs 3 375; MKP 928 vs 1 853; DA 740 vs 1 569; ActionSA 692 vs 1 717; EFF 249 vs 524; POJ 233 vs 375; PMC 58 vs 94; AIC 57 vs 79; ATM 52 vs 109; RISE 49 vs 87; VF PLUS 47 vs 118; PA 34 vs 65; MAYIBUYE 29 vs 60; ACT 25 vs 39; PAC 16 vs 32; APC 13 vs 20; NFP 12 vs 20; BOSA 11 vs 23; SACP 10 vs 13; AZANIA 7 vs 9; MF 7 vs 9; AHC 6 vs 26; AUC 4 vs 8; COPE 4 vs 13; ACP 3 vs 6; AEF 3 vs 6; AGF 3 vs 5; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; ARU 3 vs 6; AZAPO 3 vs 6; NADECO 3 vs 4; UMBRELLA 3 vs 4; ARA 2 vs 3; ICM 2 vs 6; KYP 2 vs 4; LABOUR 2 vs 3; Umphakathi Warona 2 vs 8; BPSA 1 vs 3; EKHETHU 1 vs 4; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 1 vs 3; IMS 1 vs 3; MOVE 1 vs 4; SAPCO 1 vs 3; SHOSH 1 vs 2; TRUTH 1 vs 3; AACUM 0 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 10; ALC 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 2; CCC 0 vs 1; CFM 0 vs 2; CKP 0 vs 3; COMBAT 0 vs 1; FISA 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 3; GFSA 0 vs 2; IRC 0 vs 2; LAND 0 vs 4; LBKP 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 3; OHM 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 3; VSA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 199 times in 8 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.
