Pretoria - Chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo said on Saturday night that the 2019 general election had been more complex, more contested and more logistically demanding than the previous 10 elections in South Africa.
"Nonetheless and despite these challenges, it is out incontrovertible belief we have all come through this election even stronger as an institution." "As the electoral commission, we have learnt that there is always scope for evolution in systems, people and processes. Indeed, each and every aspect of the election is under the most intense scrutiny, not only by party agents, observers, and the media, but also by ordinary citizens and voters," Mamabolo said.
Mamabolo also highlighted the challenges such as printing costs that the IEC faced due to the high number of political parties contesting the election. The 2019 general election saw a record 48 parties battling it out at the ballot.
