The apex court on Monday dismissed the DA’s application to have the process declared unconstitutional, unlawful and invalid.
The IEC says five voting stations, In KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape, had not been open by 5pm on Wednesday as a result of ongoing community protests.Social media users have weighed in on the Constitutional Court ruling that reopening the candidate registration process before the upcoming local government election is above board.
In a unanimous judgment, the court said the IEC's decision to reopen the process was in line with the law. It had earlier denied an application to postpone the elections to next year, instructing the IEC to determine if it could hold a voter registration weekend before the elections. Elections will be held on November 1.
