Electoral system cannot be spared from digital revolution, says IEC head

The electoral system cannot be spared in the technological revolution, said the Electoral Commission of South Africa's (IEC) chief electoral officer, Sy Mamabolo, on the first day of a conference on electronic voting for the country. He added while many sectors of the economy drove digitisation, election management bodies could not be left behind. The IEC wants the conference to be the start of a national discussion on electronic voting. Phemelo speaks to IEC’s Provincial Electoral Officer in Gauteng, Thabo Masemula
