On election day Western Cape IEC head Courtney Sampson admitted they hadn't foreseen so many voters would cast ballots at stations where they were not registered.

CAPE TOWN - Some officials and volunteers in Cape Town say the 2019 elections were badly run and the IEC needs to improve management.

“We did not foresee that the use of the Section 24A applications was going to be of the nature that it was. For example, the Civic Centre there were 4,500 extra people coming to vote.” An area manager in Cape Town told EWN he crashed his car while delivering ballot papers, due to sheer exhaustion.

Does seem a bit convenient for the ANC that there are issues in the one province which they have lost ages ago. What is MYANC complaining about? That they couldn’t rig it even more? Strategic move so they are not implicated by the Our_DA complaints...

Was told she couldn't vote. Incorrect. She could've cast national vote! What is hard 2understand?
