With just a week to go before South Africans go to the polls on 4 November, the IEC has declared its results system fit for purpose. The Electoral Commission launched the National Results Operations Centre, colloquially known as the ROC, in Midrand Johannesburg. The ROC will serve as the engine room for the capture and release of results from 23 thousand voting stations across the country. It will also serve as the nerve centre for the management and oversight of the electoral process, allowing amongst others, representatives of political parties and independent candidates, as well as the media to monitor the integrity of the polls.
