The IEC's journey towards e-voting in South Africa
The Mercury
|May 27, 2025
THE Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) has decided to try e-voting, and it is now in the policy-making stage.
IEC senior manager in the office of the CEO, Dr Victor Shale, said the commission not only seeks to deliver on the procedural aspect of elections, but it also seeks to deliver on the substantive value of elections.
Therefore, the commission tries to be at the forefront of innovation.
"We want to make sure that elections add value to democracy," Shale said.
Shale said that having undertaken significant work since 2013, the IEC is now in the policy-making phase.
He said that policy begins when identifying an issue.
"Whether we like it or not, digital technology in elections is inevitable. We are using digital technology in elections, in one way or the other," Shale said.
He said they have done research and continue to do research.
They also read and familiarise themselves with comparative studies throughout the globe. They now know what is there.
