About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 17 672 851 · spoilt 235 472 · special votes 570 673 · 22 924 of 22 925 voting districts in · the IEC doesn't mark the results complete yet
The national ballot total includes 19 882 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 2014 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.
