IEC Urges Political Parties & Independents to Submit Candidate Lists Before Deadline

August 23, 2021

Faizel Patel – 23/08/2021

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) says political parties and independent candidates who want to contest the local government elections have until Monday night to submit their candidate lists and deposits.

According to the election timetable, parties must submit lists and pay deposits by no later than 9pm.

The IEC says to date, 25 political parties and 50 independent candidates have captured their details and have submitted candidate lists and details to the electoral body.

“The electoral commission will have until 31 August to notify parties of any candidates appearing on multiple party lists. The affected parties will have until 5pm on 2 September to decided whether to remove such candidate and order their lists.”

Parties have to register as if the October elections will be taking place because the polls have not been officially postponed.

The Constitutional Court on Friday heard an urgent application from the IEC, who’ve sought permission from the court to allow the elections to be held next February.
