The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) instructs political parties to resolve candidates who appear on more than one electoral list by 5pm today. The measure is part of the final administrative steps before the IEC publishes the final candidate lists.
The IEC’s deadline is linked to the timetable for the elections-related process. Candidate lists are expected to be published on September 16, and parties are required to confirm whether such candidates are to be removed from, replaced on, or retained on the relevant lists.
Across the reporting, the key emphasis is on the IEC’s role in finalising list compliance and ensuring parties submit resolved, finalised candidate information ahead of publication. Details on how parties respond or which candidates are affected are not included in the brief provided, with coverage focused instead on the deadline and the upcoming publication date.
