The IEC in the Western Cape is dealing with an avalanche of complaints, lodged mainly by the DA and the ANC, over the unavailability of ballot papers at a number of polling stations, with both parties claiming this has cost them votes.The ANC has taken an early lead at just over 50% nationally followed by the DA and EFF at 28% and 7%, respectively.Nationally, the ANC is enjoying an early lead followed by the DA and the Economic Freedom Fighters.
""Ballot boxes containing special votes are also opened and the contents verified against lists of authorized special voters before being added to the count.""Counting takes place within the voting station in front of party agents and observers. The first step in the process is to check the seals and open the ballot boxes. The ballots contained therein are then reconciled with those issued, any remaining unused ballots and any ballots which may have been cancelled.
