The Electoral Commission (IEC) of South Africa says that by midday, over 330 000 voter registration applications had been processed.
The IEC is conducting voter registration across the country this weekend. The 23 706 voting stations are open from 8am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
In a statement, the Commission says, “Just over 300 000 transactions were processed on the VMD at voting stations, while 30 000 were applications on the online platform.”
“Predictable provinces with population densities account for the majority of the transactions, with KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape recording the highest applications. Early indications point to young persons as the majority of applicants.”
“Since this morning, our contact centre has facilitated and assisted 640 voters through direct queries, alongside 221 interactions via social media platforms.”
