In the latest opinion poll ahead of the election in May, Ipsos predicts the DA will clinch 16 % of the national vote, followed by the EFF at 9 %.
The IEC says 1 078 416 voters used the weekend to register in a new voting district and 690 310 voters confirmed their registration in the same voting district.
JOHANNESBURG - An Ipsos survey shows 61 percent of registered voters are likely to vote for the ANC in the 2019 poll., Ipsos predicts the DA will clinch 16% of the national vote, followed by the EFF at 9%.The poll, however, noted that “The voters’ roll compiled by the IEC contains 26,774,102 names of South Africans who are registered to vote, meaning that more than 10 million South Africans of voting age have chosen not to register and therefore not to vote in this election.
“This can probably be attributed to the facts that of all South Africans eligible to vote, a quarter are not interested in politics and elections and almost four in every ten say that there is no political party expressing their views.” “11% of registered voters answered that they would not vote, would not vote for a current party, refused to answer or didn’t know which party they would vote for,” Ipsos said.“If we only take these trust indices into account, it seems as if the ANC is improving their position amongst voters, while the DA and the EFF still have issues to convince bigger proportions of voters to support them.
