The Independent Electoral Commission’s Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo, says the Commission will urgently conduct an audit of the results and votes cast in a sample of voting stations, to establish whether double voting has occurred in some voting stations.
On Wednesday, there were reports that some voters have been removing the indelible ink after voting, then returning to vote for the second time.
The audit will cover a statistically representative sample of voting stations as well as all voting stations where complaints or allegations of double voting have been received.
The Commission has called on all political parties, media and the general public to show patience and to allow the voting process to complete.
