About these figures
Official IEC figures: how we add them up
special votes 81 047 · All 4 940 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 4 940 voting districts here (2 613 450 of 5 447 815). The IEC publishes 48.2%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2016 election for the same province, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
