Electoral Commission CEO Sy Mamabolo says that whatever parliament decides regarding the final Electoral Amendment Bill, will have implications on the logistics and integrity of the 2024 elections.
The Bill, which is currently before parliament, aims to ensure that independent candidates can run in the national and provincial elections, as per the directive of a Constitutional Court decision in June 2020.
Parliament was earlier this year granted an extension until December 2022 to finalise the Bill, however, a fresh round of public consultations has been reopened jeopardising the already tight time frames required to prepare for the 2024 elections. Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson Janet Love has cautioned civil society organisations to be mindful of time-frames for the 2024 poll, in their discussions on the Electoral Amendment Act currently in parliament.
