Election team is preparing to meet with Nehawu to avert possible election day strike.
Nehawu also wants the IEC to help with transporting members from one voting station to another to deliver and pick up ballot boxes.
"This has resulted in the lowest staff morale ever at the IEC, hence our members are not looking forward to providing good service during this period if the employer does not resolve issues related to movement of ballot boxes and papers," the union said.IEC has stressed that the Electoral Act specifically prohibits political meetings, marches, demonstrations or any other political event taking place on voting day.
