LGE 2021: IEC making strides in reaching target of 90% counted ballots: Northern Cape leads in the vote counting with 89% of its results already completed
), keeping it on track to reach a target of pushing through 90% of the results by the end of Tuesday.Sy MamaboloLeading the pack in vote counting is the Northern Cape, where 89% of the province’s results have been completed, followed by the Western Cape at 72% and the Eastern Cape at 70%. “We are still pursuing the target of reaching the 90% in the course of tonight. The number of completed municipalities now stands at 94.
Reaching the 90% mark will however still not give a clear indication of how this year’s voter turnout compares with that for the previous municipal elections in 2016. “Projections can be done on the basis of what the status would be at that point. The commission will however, when it declares the results, give the official voter turnout in the elections,” Mamabolo said.
