KwaZulu-Natal had a 36% voter turnout in Monday's municipal elections.
Alaister Russell/The Sunday TimesThe Electoral Commission said on Tuesday that counting at voting stations had been completed and officials have started capturing and auditing the results.
“These results have all been captured, However, they will not be immediately available because they have to go through the auditing process which is under way.” “Commission staff are clearing some exceptions on the system. The system has a built-in percentage parameter, where anything above that set parameter is treated as an exception. We then need to double-check if that parameter is correct. If it is correct the exception is cleared,” said the IEC.
“There is also a set parameter percentage on the voter turnout at a voting station. We do not expect a 100% turnout at a voting station. However, if we do have a 100% turnout, it could be because of MEC 7 cases. That also needs to be confirmed before that result is finalised.” “Police had to guarantee they would secure the material, voting station officers and police officers who were stationed in that area.
