The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) says the number of people on the voters roll stands at 23.6 million, with final verification expected to take place in the next few days.

IEC chairperson, Brigalia Bam, says even though they were targeting 24 million voters for the upcoming local government elections, it is satisfied with 1.9 percent increase.

“Over the two registration weekends a total of 2,731,967 persons registered or re-registered as voters, apart from numerous others who verified their details on the voters roll,” she explains.
