Elections

THE Electoral Court will on Thursday hear ActionSA’s matter against the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) in a bid to have the party’s name included on the ballot paper for the November 1 local governmenelections. ActionSA has candidates in six municipalities across the country – Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini, Newcastle and KwaDukuza – but only its logo and not its name appears on the ballot paper. The IEC said it would be impossible to remedy the ballot paper in time. |
