The party has lost its battle to force the IEC to include its full name in the ballot paper ahead of the November 1 local government elections.

Johannesburg - ActionSA has lost its battle to force the Electoral Commission to include its full name in the ballot paper ahead of the November 1 local government elections.

ActionSA lodged the application after its full name was omitted in the draft ballot paper produced by the IEC on October 2. In support of its decision, the IEC argued that ActionSA failed to provide it with the abbreviation of its party’s name – a view which irked the top leadership of ActionSA. Reacting to the ruling, ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba said his party had received “the disappointing news'’ that the Electoral Court had against it.

ActionSA wants court to force IEC to 'find a way' to remedy ballot paper omissionJudge admits that the matter between the party and the electoral commission “is not a straightforward case”. “The apparent unwillingness of the commission to remedy this issue is in conflict with its obligation to run free and fair elections'. 'And, therefore, she said, the request to correct this was just and equitable.' IEC refusing to rectify this horrible mistake is an embarrassment for South Africa as a country. This has absolutely nothing to do with political affiliation but everything to do with free and fair elections. It is like the DPSA refusing to implement the signed wage deal.
