It says that Gauteng has 6.5 million voters and KwaZulu-Natal has 5.7 million, followed by the Eastern Cape with 3.4 million. voters., the Chief Electoral Officer Sy Mamabolo, says the certified voters’ roll stands at 27.7 million voters. He said South Africa has not seen this level of registration since the voters’ roll was first established in 1999.
Mamabolo said since the IEC launched the online registration portal in July 2021, 2.4 million voters had used it to either register for the first time or change their registration details. KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are where the ANC is most vulnerable, with polls suggesting the party will likely dip below 50% and a decline in these provinces could also jeopardise the ANC’s national majority.
