Boundaries and comparisons
Areas of the 2016 municipal delimitation; no boundary geometry is held, so areas are listed by name and code and never drawn on another delimitation's map.
Nationally and by province this election compares with every other national & Provincial election. By municipality: no other election is on the same delimitation, so municipal results are listed per election and never side by side. Wards are compared only within one delimitation.
About this record
Coverage, limitations, source issues and how the figures were checked
What the record holds
- Municipal areas are the 2016 municipalities, as the IEC file lists them. No boundary geometry is held for this election's municipal areas: results are shown as tables, never drawn on today's boundaries.
Source issues
- In the national-ballot CSV, 912 rows have unquoted commas inside the voting-station name, which shifts their columns. They are read by anchoring on the numeric columns; every repaired row is counted in the ingestion record and the totals reconcile with the IEC's results report.
- Votes cast abroad appear under two labels in the file, "Out of Country" and "Out of Country Voting". Both are kept as listed, as separate reporting areas.
- The voting-district file and the IEC's results report (IEC 2019 National Election — Detailed Results, all provinces (PDF), results as at 10/12/2019 02:43:19 PM) differ in 2 of 572 figures, all in Eastern Cape. Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, Western Cape, votes cast abroad agree exactly. The figures shown are the voting-district file's, as published; the report most likely reflects later corrections. Not adjusted; to raise with the IEC.
- The voting-district file and the IEC's results report (IEC 2019 Provincial Election — Detailed Results, all provinces (PDF), results as at 13/05/2019 04:22:34 PM) differ in 4 of 740 figures, all in Gauteng. Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, Western Cape agree exactly. The figures shown are the voting-district file's, as published; the report most likely reflects later corrections. Not adjusted; to raise with the IEC.
How it was read and checked
- Election date: Polling day as proclaimed in the Government Gazette. The IEC results files do not state the date and the proclamation is not yet among this election's captured documents.
- Results are stored for each municipal area (and for votes cast abroad) as sums of the IEC's voting-district rows; the number of voting districts summed is stored with each figure. Voting-district detail is in the official file (SHA-256 recorded) but not loaded (storage policy, DATABASE §8.2).
