South Africa votes today as IEC declares readiness for polls
As South Africans prepare to vote in the local government elections on Wednesday, the Electoral Commission (IEC) says it is ready for the polls after successfully concluding two days of special voting.
We are encouraged by the enthusiasm of South Africans who showed up during the two days of special voting,
the IEC said.
The secrecy of every vote is a fundamental principle of South Africa’s democracy and must always be protected,
he said, warning that taking photographs of marked ballot papers remains prohibited.
