ActionSA Runs Successful, Safe, Free and Fair Elections
26 June 2021
Today, ActionSA welcomed thousands of South Africans in historic voting Candidate Selection Voting which took place across the Gauteng Provinces. Residents from the metros of Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni came out in their numbers to vote in 36 walk-in voting stations to show their deep desire for change by voting for the Ward and Mayoral candidates that they want to represent ActionSA on the ballot paper in the upcoming Local Government Elections.
With the high volume of voters across communities at each of our voting stations, walk-in voting stations for the ActionSA Candidate Elections will now remain open until 7pm today, Saturday 26 June 2021. Residents can find their nearest voting station at: https://www.actionsa.org.za/where-to-vote/. Residents across the three metros may also continue to cast their votes online at: https://vote.actionsa.org.za/ until Sunday, 27 June 2021, at 23:59.
Our communities are gatvol of a broken political system that has only served to force corrupt, unethical and incompetent political leaders on them; political leaders who are only interested in serving their political parties and enriching themselves. Our revolutionary electoral success provides a clear case for breaking with the status quo and handing power back to residents – not only in the Gauteng Metro Municipalities but in the lead-up to National General lections in 2024, across the country as well.
Whilst acknowledging the level of human and economic suffering arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and appreciating the IEC’s mandate to hold free, fair and credible elections now includes a precondition for the elections to also be safe, ActionSA’s voting process has clearly demonstrated how free and fair elections can be safely held across South Africa later this year, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19.
