IEC dismisses MK Party’s deceased voters’ roll claims
People who died after the voters' roll was certified may still appear as registered voters, says IEC
The Electoral Commission (IEC) has dismissed the uMkhonto weSizwe Party's (MKP) claims regarding deceased voters appearing on the voters' roll. Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Mawethu Mosery informed that individuals who passed away after the voters' roll was certified might still be listed as registered voters as they were alive when the roll was finalized.
He clarified that all voters are required to present valid identification documents at voting stations to cast their ballots. Mosery mentioned that it's possible to find names of deceased individuals on the voters' roll as they would have presented themselves at the voting stations while they were still alive and listed as registered voters.
Names of rejected voters, including those who were deceased, can be found in the rejected section at the back of the voters' roll.
