Registered voters had an extended deadline of MIDNIGHT last night to apply for special votes. The application process was open to voters who can't travel to their voting station on election day because they are physically infirm, disabled or pregnant, or are unable vote at their voting station on election day. The Electoral Commission had earlier distanced itself from a widely circulated message claiming that it had granted permission for everyone over the age of 60 to cast a special vote on 27 and 28 at the polling station where they are registered. For the latest, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to IEC Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo.
