JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance said it would be monitoring the Electoral Commission of South Africa to ensure the Electoral Court’s ruling on opening more voting stations abroad is practically implemented.
The court handed down an order in favour of the DA for voting to be allowed at honorary consulates around the world.The DA’s application came on the back of South Africans in Perth, Australia, not being able to cast their ballots at an honorary consulate near them, but having to travel to the capital, Canberra.
The court has also reviewed and set the IEC’s decision aside, meaning the commission must set up voting stations at these consulates."That is consistent with the Electoral Act, and it enables far more South Africans living abroad to vote in this crucial election.
