IEC doesn’t anticipate change of election date over ConCourt ruling
The commission says the outstanding processes will be completed within a shortened timeframe.
The Electoral Commission (IEC) has stated that it does not foresee any alteration to the scheduled date of the Local Government Elections (LGE) slated for November 4th, despite the logistical hurdles arising from the Constitutional Court's ruling on the African National Congress's (ANC) candidate lists. Despite the ruling bringing about significant disruptions, the IEC maintains that preparations for the elections are progressing and will be completed within a compressed timeframe under stringent supervision.
This includes the printing of ballots following the court's decision. IEC Chairperson Mosotho Moepya confirmed to the media in Centurion, Pretoria, that while the commission is aware of the impact on logistical preparations, there are no immediate plans to alter the election date.
