About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
special votes 5 325 · All 339 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 339 voting districts here (233 615 of 419 044). The IEC publishes 55.9%.
Note: party 0: the IEC's cross-ballot total 12223 differs from its ward + PR + DC 40% votes (12255); we show each ballot's own votes.
Note: IEC TotalValidVotes 456310 differs from the sum of party rows 456278 by -32; we show per-ballot sums of party rows and do not publish the cross-ballot total.
Note: the IEC's seat calculation lists 4 party rows twice with identical figures; each party is counted once.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
