Cope MP, CT ward councillor test allegations of multiple voting

CAPE TOWN – Multiple voting has been cast into sharp focus by a Congress of the People Member of Parliament who said that she was given the go-ahead to vote at five different voting stations after removing the ink mark on her thumb with household bleach.

Deidre Carter said that she decided to test the system after being told of Economic Freedom Fighters supporters allegedly voting multiple times in the Cape metro. Carter claimed that she could have voted a number of times using her own ID. She’s reported the matter to the Independent Electoral Commission nationally and provincially and has also reported the allegations against the EFF.

When Carter returned to the voting station where she cast her vote, she’d removed the mark on her thumb with bleach.She said that her ID was re-scanned but this did not reflect she’d already voted. After alerting officials, Carter then went to four more voting stations, at each getting a slip that would have allowed her to vote if she filled in a VEC4 form.“Firstly the zip-zip machines are not talking to one another, then the indelible ink isn’t working, so those two cross-checks failed.

“We’re in the 21st century here. Effectively what should happen is, you either have a permanently inked finger to show that you’ve voted or secondly, that the system that they use to scan your ID pops up and says but this ID number has voted two days ago. Very, very basic tools we can put in place to better the system.”

'For us to have a desk with party colours at IEC results centre was campaigning' - CopeThree seemingly sticklers for details standout at the IEC’s national election results centre in Pretoria by their bright table clothes on their desks. Most visible is the PAC, a veteran of six elections, followed by Cope and AIC, who also decorated their desks with party colours. Cope's deputy secretary general Rob Huchingson admitted that the cloth was a bit of both campaigning and being a stickler for detail.
