Challenges with voting registration worry me – Maimane
Johannesburg – The challenges arising from verifying addresses during voter registration for the local government elections worried DA leader Mmusi Maimane, he told journalists on Saturday.
While visiting some Tshwane voter registration stations, Maimane said there was no verification of his address when he registered.
He said the DA had urged the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) to seek a declaratory on the matter.
“We have urged the IEC to go and seek a declaratory on the matter to ensure that we get the appropriate definitions of addresses and what it constitutes," he said.
Maimane said he predicted many questions would arise during the 2016 local elections, judging from the Tlokwe by-election judgment.
