Several voters at the Joubert Park polling station in Johannesburg have been complaining that they have been unable to vote because they came up on the voters' roll as dead. | |
But the election commission’s area manager, Charlotte Hlongwane, denies they have been disenfranchised. | |
She tells me that these people had “fake” ID books, and the commission’s system - which is linked to that of the Home Affairs department - picked this up. | |
She says voting is now going smoothly unlike early in the morning when there was a “network problem”, forcing election staff to do everything manually. | |
The scanners need to connect to the internet to verify the IDs, but if they cannot do so the physical voters' roll is on hand. | |
