Know your 2024 election ballots

With only 16 days before the most anticipated national and provincial elections since 1994, the local IEC office is on track with preparations for the day.

In line with the National 100 Days marathon timetable, Stella Dlamini, the IEC King Cetshwayo regional manager, said they are receiving and processing the Section 24A applications for those voters who will not be at their polling station on election day.

“Currently, we are doing our readiness campaign; receiving and distributing materials, working with relevant stakeholders in the community, as well as the provincial office,” said Dlamini.

The three ballots include

National Compensatory Ballot:

Political party name, the face of party leader, the abbreviation of party, party logo, and the box to make your mark.

Regional National Assembly Ballot:

For political parties – party name, face of party leader, abbreviation of party, party logo, and the box to make your mark. For independent candidates – name of candidate, face of candidate, and the word ‘independent’, and the box to make your mark.
