Special voting is in full swing across South Africa as political parties wrap up their election campaigns with final rallies. Voters participating in special votes will encounter a double envelope system at their voting stations, ensuring the integrity of their ballots. The IEC has reassured voters that there is no need to worry about the envelopes, debunking concerns about vote sanctity.

Special votes for the 2024 general elections are being cast at voting stations from 9am to 5pm on Monday and Tuesday. Noteworthy figures, including Magdel Kriek, Michelle Schooling, Ilsa Otto, and Maretha Henning, have already exercised their voting rights at Mossel Bay Town Hall.

As South Africa sees independent candidates participating in the elections for the first time since 1994, changes have been implemented to accommodate this shift. Voters need to stay informed about the evolving electoral landscape to make their choices wisely.

The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) is fully prepared to receive voters eligible for special votes during the 2024 National and Provincial elections. With the excitement and anticipation building up, it's crucial for all eligible voters to familiarize themselves with the special voting process.

๐Ÿ” Did you know? The special voting system with double envelopes ensures the confidentiality and authenticity of each vote. ๐Ÿš€ Stay tuned for updates on the unique electoral journey!
