IEC boosts data capturers to speed up Joburg results

The Electoral Commission (IEC) in Gauteng has increased the number of data capturers to expedite the results capturing process for the City of Johannesburg. The IEC has reported that they are struggling to finalize the municipal election results for Joburg due to the large volume of ballots being processed. As of now, the IEC has verified 65% of the results across the province.

In Midvaal, the process is complete at 100%, while West Rand and Mogale City are also at 100% in terms of processing. The City of Johannesburg, which was initially lagging behind, has now made significant progress and is at 56% completion. The deployment of additional data capturers has contributed to the improved progress.
