Police said 19 suspects have been arrested in KwaZulu-Natal of which one is alleged to have transgressed in Danhauser, two in Hluhluwe and one in the Port Shepstone while the final suspect was arrested in Douglasdale in Gauteng.These suspects are alleged to have contravened Section 88 of the Electoral Act 73/1998 whereby a person tries to cast more votes than a person is entitled to.

Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo, spokesperson for the National Joint Operational and Intelligence structure says the security features employed by the Independent Electoral Commission have been effective."The four layers of security are effectively implemented to protect the integrity of the election process. Furthermore, people bragging on social media about having cast"double votes" must realize that this is a transgression of the Electoral Act, if not fraud or both.
