In a statement, the Electoral Commission of South Africa said in most areas voting progressed smoothly “despite isolated incidents where voting operations were adversely affected by inclement weather, community unrest, power outages and some logistical challenges”.
Power cuts, which have become more commonplace in the country as Eskom grapples with financial and operational woes, plunged several voting stations in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Gauteng into darkness with candles being lit to guide voters. “The ballots for each party are counted and recounted to ensure accuracy and the results captured on two duplicate results slips which reflect the voting station, the number of cast ballots, the number of votes for each party and the number of spoiled ballots.”
The IEC expected the first results from voting districts with smaller numbers of voters to be reflected on the commission’s results system before midnight on Wednesday.Voting stations closed their doors at 9pm on Wednesday, though voters who were still waiting to vote and had arrived before the cut-off time were still allowed to cast their ballots.
