THE second day of the final voter registration weekend, went off to a smooth start much better than the first day on Saturday, which was marred by disruptions at several voter registration centres by communities disgruntled about service delivery failures.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) said on Sunday that most provinces were able to operate without significant problems, apart from the Eastern Cape.
Seventeen voting stations in the Eastern Cape were affected the previous day by community protests and five didn’t open. But on Sunday they opened from 10am.
The commission reported that in Mpumalanga, where more than a dozen voting stations were affected by various challenges on Saturday, things were running smoothly on Sunday.
