Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) Chairperson Mosotho Moepya has thanked the just over 500 000 South Africans who visited voting stations across the country to register and check their registration details ahead of the 2024 elections.
This follows the conclusion of the weekend’s national voter registration yesterday.
Moepya says 34 293 online registrations were also recorded.
He says 99% of voting stations opened on time, but said there were minor problems in some communities.
Moepya says, “A total of six communities were protesting and in those areas, our stations remained open although intermittently. We want to say to South Africans, if you want to express your grievances by all means our Constitution permits, but it must not have an impact on others.”
The IEC says it will release the consolidated numbers of the registration weekend by Tuesday.
