IEC fails to answer why registration is electronic but voting manual sabcnews elections2019 SAdecide KingKAzania
has failed to answer why it continues to conduct its elections manually instead of electronically – even more especially considering the fact that the IEC has an electronic voters’ roll database that exists. When it comes to elections however, there is a conscious decision to conduct the elections manually, which is adding to the conversation around the credibility of the elections and the integrity of voting processes.
Earlier this week, IEC CEO Sy Mamabolo came close to admitting that voter could vote twice, though he mentioned this was a punishable offence. But it would seem it is a concession the IEC are not willing to make – that it is indeed possible for people to vote more than once. Pressed on the arrests that they reporting to have made around issues of double voting earlier this week, the IEC are now saying the arrests were only because of “attempts” to double vote.
