ANC Challenges IEC’s Online Nomination Rules | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The African National Congress is suing the Electoral Commission over local elections, arguing that technical glitches prevented them from finalizing online candidate nominations by the August 28 deadline — even though candidate data was entered. They’re challenging the legal definition of “submitted,” claiming electronic submissions should count the same as manual ones. The ANC isn’t asking for a deadline extension but wants the court to clarify how the law applies to digital submissions. This case, impacting Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Free State, could reshape how future elections handle electronic nominations — especially after the court previously denied a similar request from the United Democratic Front.
