WATCH: Glenashley voter urges residents to make their voice count

No major issues reported at Durban North voting stations this morning.

THERE were very few hiccups at voting stations around Durban North on Wednesday morning as the country hosted its sixth national and provincial elections.

Northglen News reporter, Shiraz Habbib, visited two voting stations in the area, Northwood School and Sunningdale Park where most residents were upbeat about the voting process.

North Durban ward councillors also reported few major issues, however, councillor, Pete Graham (ward 110) said he would be lodging a complaint with the IEC after ballot papers ran out at a voting station at Corovoca Primary School.

“The voting station ran out of ballot papers. They were only a few leftovers from the special votes. For me this is completely unacceptable as the same thing happened at Rinaldo Road (Action Cricket). There the IEC had to get more ballot papers from the Sunningdale voting station. Thankfully both stations are running smoothly now,” he said.
