SAelections2019 Ballots behind bars: Inmates vote under tight security at Durban prison
However, the IEC said on Wednesday that the exact number of actual voters would remain unknown until the process came to an end.
One of those prisoners was Velile Lutyeku, who is housed in the maximum-security Medium B section. He had voted in every election since 1994, but given that he was sent to the prison"two years and eleven months ago" it was his first ballot behind bars."It's exciting that we are also part of what is happening outside, that we are given a chance to vote even in here," said Lutyeku, who turns 60 on Sunday.
