ActionSA Hears Thousands and Resolves to Forego Prospect of Legal Victory Against IEC
16 November 2020
Following the IEC’s decision to uphold their original decision to reject ActionSA’s application to register as a political party, the ActionSA Senate initiated a public engagement process.
Notwithstanding the opinion that we have excellent prospects of a successful review in the High Court, the ActionSA Senate called for the engagement process to ensure our actions are guided by the party’s supporters.
The purpose of this engagement was to determine whether ActionSA supporters believe we should challenge the IEC in the High Court or amend our logo and finalise our registration.
ActionSA supporters have spoken through this process, and despite the high confidence in a high court review succeeding, 92% of more than 8000 official views have guided the organisation to change the logo and proceed.
