So far the voting process in Ermelo has run smoothly, with many residents praising the IEC officials for the quick and organised manner the voting are done.
The voting station in Cassim Park only opened at 8.30am due to the lack of seals for boxes, but Mr Samuel Maziya, preceding officer at the station confirmed that the issue was resolved and voting is going smoothly.
While some have changed their opinions on who to vote for this year, others are of the opinion that the party they have previously voted for, still have their vote.
The voting stations are opened until 9pm.
In the Twitter-sphere some of the big hitters have also shared their photos
