IEC confirms 150 of 213 municipalities have finalised the results as N Cape Leads Completion
The Electoral Commission (IEC) has confirmed that 150 out of the 213 municipalities have finalized the results of the LGE 2026 elections. This leaves 63 municipalities still awaiting complete results, with the majority located in metropolitan areas due to high population densities and a large number of voting districts. The Northern Cape province has been the first to finish processing all results, followed by the Free State province.
The IEC has addressed false claims on social media, stating that voters can only cast one ballot and no official can vote more than once. Deputy CEO Masego Sheburi reported that the IEC expects to complete the remaining results by midday and finish processing early Saturday morning.
