The Human Sciences Research Council will release the preliminary findings of the Elections Satisfaction Survey (ESS).
In 2016, during the local government elections, the survey conducted by the HSRC had, at the time, made the following findings:
– An overwhelming majority of voters in the 2016 Local Government Elections felt that the election procedures were free, with a further 4% saying they were free with only minor problems. A mere 2% suggested that the elections were not free. – A majority of voters expressed satisfaction with the secrecy of their vote , with only 1% voicing any form of discontent. Compared to the 2009, 2011, and 2014 elections
– Of general voting experience, almost three quarters of all voters said that they waited less than 15 minutes to vote, with the HSRC saying this signified an improvement from 2014. HSRC said 1% of voters had reported waiting more than two hours in queues, a move that was a significant reduction from 2014.Voter turnout in the 2016 municipal elections stood at 57.94%.
It remains to be seen if this number will improve amid parties lamenting a low voter turnout on election day on Monday.
