Political newcomers ActionSA have taken their ongoing battle with the IEC to the Electoral Court.

The commission has previously put the blame squarely on ActionSA, arguing it had failed to add its “abbreviated name” when it initially registered as a party.

In the party’s defence, president Herman Mashaba argued ActionSA does not have an abbreviated name because its full name was already compliant with the IEC’s 8-character limit on abbreviated party names and thus could always be used in full. “In section 15 of the Electoral Commission Act, it says abbreviated name, if any. In other words, both these forms, and the law envisions a situation where a party might choose not to be abbreviated.

“There is nothing in law or form that says this is how a ballot paper is constructed, so that there may be ambiguity we accept — but when it's raised with the IEC immediately, at a time when it's easy to remedy, and the answer is no, where is the voter in that decision?” argued Beaumont.
