11 aspirant candidate councillors applied to be electoral staff
Hendrickse said they resolved that matter by placing the affected person in a different voting station.
There are a total of 18664 electoral personnel, including presiding officers and deputy presiding officers, who will be working at the voting stations on the election day. Hendrickse explained that when they hire presiding officers and their deputies, they present the names to the municipal party liaison committee , which is constituted by represented political parties and those organisations and independent candidates contesting the elections in a municipal area.
Hendrickse also said as part of their recruitment process, they run the names of people that they were employing against the candidate nominations. Responding to a question about criticism of hiring already employed people as electoral staff, Hendrickse said the IEC advertises for persons to come work for them via the e-recruitment system.
