The Electoral Commission is expected to conclude the process of finalizing and auditing the results of the 2024 National and Provincial elections soon.

As indicated yesterday, counting at all voting stations is complete and the IEC has all the results at local offices.

According to IEC CEO Sy Mamabolo, a procedure is in place to record them onto the system for accounting and seat distribution.

71.76 percent of the results have been recorded thus far.

Mamabolo reiterates the commission regrets the incident that occurred this morning when the results could not be displayed on the website or the leader boards at the results operation centers.

“We wish to emphasise that our system did not crash and no data was compromised.”

The progress relating to the capturing of the results per province are as follows:

• EASTERN CAPE is at 92.13% with 4485 of 4 868 Voting Districts completed.
• FREE STATE is at 95.52% with 1 515 of 1 586 Voting Districts completed.
• GAUTENG is at 75.33% with 2 107 of 2 797 Voting Districts completed.
• KWAZULU-NATAL is at 75.37% with 3 749 of 4 974 Voting Districts completed.
• MPUMALANGA is at 91.94% with 1 665 of 1 811 Voting Districts completed.
• NORTHERN CAPE is at 100% with 730 of 730 Voting Districts completed.
• LIMPOPO is at 80.78% with 2 598 of 3 216 Voting Districts completed.
• NORTH WEST is at 88.61% with 1 540 of 1 738 Voting Districts completed.

The Commission went into the elections with a full IT plan, which include a back-up and recovery in case it is needed, said Mamabolo.
