About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 0 · All 38 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 38 voting districts here (34 219 of 69 676). The IEC publishes no turnout figure here.

Note: the IEC's seat calculation reports 1 independent seat, but its party rows already fill 40 of 40 seats; no independent seat is shown; the ward results agree (no ward won by an independent).

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
