Documented change

Compare elections

Two elections of the same type, side by side: each party’s votes and share of valid votes, and the change between them. National and provincial elections are compared on the national ballot; local elections on the municipal PR ballot. Elections of different types are not compared.

Parties

Ordered by votes in 2006. A party is on one line only where the record holds it as the same party in both elections (the same name as the IEC lists it); a party that stood under a different name — or did not stand — has a line of its own with a dash. Shares are of each election’s valid votes.
