It is still unclear how discontent with politics, and the effects of Covid-19, will affect voter turnout, according to research company Ipsos
Ipsos noted that the IEC could still approach parliament and seek a postponement by amending the constitution, but this would require a two-thirds majority and it was uncertain if there would be enough support to delay the polls.
The research company also noted that there had been little campaigning for the elections because of the pandemic. But voters had expressed their discontent with politics and political parties in various ways over the past few years, Ipsos added, and it remained to be seen whether this sentiment, as well as the pandemic, would have an influence on voter turnout., we’re proud of our 36 year history, throughout which we have delivered to readers the most important, unbiased stories in South Africa.
