EFF threatens legal action against IEC over voter data
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have issued a stern warning, stating their intention to take the Electoral Commission (IEC) to court if the commission does not provide them with information concerning citizens that have not registered to vote.
This declaration came during a two-day election workshop in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, as EFF leader Julius Malema addressed party members.
Malema revealed that the EFF had previously submitted requests to the IEC for this data but their efforts had been met with limited success. The requested information is crucial for the party’s efforts to mobilize unregistered voters and encourage their participation in upcoming elections.
During his address, Malema asserted, “A legal letter must be written to the IEC, putting it under terms to give us the data of unregistered voters of South Africa. If the IEC refuses to provide us with this data, we must seek recourse in the Electoral Court. We must question how we are expected to advocate for free and fair elections when the IEC withholds information that is integral to achieving these goals and ensuring maximum voter participation.”
