The KZN acting provincial electoral officer Ntombifuthi Masinga said despite having a truncated timeline, all systems are a go for the voter registration weekend.
It was a balancing act on our side to still meet the timelines and also deliver a reasonably free and fair election,” Masinga said.
Two hundred and eighteen out of 4 983 voting districts were affected by the change in ward boundaries. Furthermore, it said that 11 065 people were recruited and trained ahead of the upcoming voter registration weekend to work at the voting stations. Masinga said she was pleased to note that the commission has been making digital strides in the election process, as it will be introducing the Voter Management Device to replace the previously used Zip-Zip scanner.
