About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 18 654 771 · spoilt 252 274 · special votes 324 909 · All 22 263 voting districts in · the IEC marks the results complete
The national ballot total includes 18 132 valid votes cast outside South Africa, which the IEC publishes as one area, "Out of Country" (national ballot only; no breakdown by country).
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2009 election for the same country, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Each party's seats are the sum of the two seat rows the IEC returns for it.
