The Midrand-based facility is powered by digital infrastructure, innovative technologies and high-speed WiFi from BCX and Openserve.
BCX provides the infrastructure that supports the running of servers and applications at the National Results Operating Centre .
South Africans will take to the polls on 29 May to elect the leadership of the seventh administration, in what is expected to be the most contested election in the last 30 years. “It is with great pride and a profound sense of responsibility that I stand before you today, on behalf of the Electoral Commission, to inaugurate the National Results Centre for the 2024 national and provincial elections.
BCX supplies the ROC centre with managed infrastructure and cloud services, as well as unified end-user workspace management. “This means that if there is any outage − whether it's an internet connectivity outage or even power failure − our backup systems and business continuity plans will have the ability to quickly kick in.”Also speaking at the event, IEC chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo noted this year’s election is the most digitised election in SA, to date.
“A total of 56 800 votes were cast at 111 foreign missions around the world. Those registered to vote at the London voting station were given an extra day – 19 May – because of the high number of voters registered there.”
