South Africans curious about the ElectionResults should expect a long wait ahead as small voting stations are only expected to start reporting their results at 11 pm, said the IEC.
Johannesburg - South Africans who are curious about the election results should expect a long and excruciating wait ahead as the smallest voting stations are only expected to start reporting their results at 11 pm.
She said, historically, the smallest voting stations were usually the first to report their results and for the bigger stations, the wait maybe even longer. “At 9 pm when our voting stations close our officials and political parties will take a two-minute break and then they begin the sorting and the counting. After they have done the sorting and the counting, historically the first station that posts the results comes somewhere between 11 pm and midnight and it will be our smallest station and that is why we do the bell ceremony which indicates that the first results are in. It’s usually the smallest station,” Bapela said.
