Johannesburg - While the Electoral Commission has emphasised that any form of protest or demonstration is outlawed on election day, the Commission has also insisted that political parties need to adhere to the IEC's processes ahead of the final results being released next week Saturday.
According to Masego Sheburi, Commission's Deputy CEO of Electoral Operations, any political parties or individuals who wish to lodge objections relating to the numbers counted so far has until Friday, May 10 to do so. Sheburi said once disputes have been raised, the IEC would deal with those immediately so as to ensure that the final results are-released timeously. Currently, the Commission has set up a legal centre at the National Results Operation Centre in Pretoria which will work alongside auditors.
Earlier this week, CEO Glen Mashinini had urged parties to also act responsibly while giving their supporters updates saying only the Commission was allowed to release the final results and that those who leaked any privileged information were not only violating the electoral conduct code they signed but would hamper on the credibility of the elections.

JUST IN: Electoral court rules IEC erred when it didn't publish BLF registration in govt gazetteThe Electoral Court has set aside a decision by the South African Electoral Commission to dismiss an appeal by Freedom Front Plus to have Black Land First deregistered from contesting the May 8 elections. Sesona_Ngqaks Blf is a racist bunch, shouldn't EVER be part of the elections. Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF registration matter to court! Surely, the IEC KNOWS when it has erred by not following electoral laws (who better?) & should have acted accordingly?! Sesona_Ngqaks I STILL don't understand why it was up to the FFPlus to take the BLF to the IEC over its RaceBasedMembership criterion! As I understand it, this contravenes SA's electoral laws & should have automatically disqualified this party! Why is SA STILL having to fight apartheid?!
