The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) is set to host a three-day E-Voting Conference in Cape Town, aimed at fostering a national dialogue on the feasibility and policy implications of electronic voting in the country.
The conference, which begins this week, will serve as a platform for political leaders, business representatives, civil society, and election management bodies to discuss the future of voting in South Africa. Experts from countries that have implemented e-voting technologies will share insights and experiences.
According to the IEC, the event marks an important step toward modernizing the electoral system and ensuring a transparent, efficient, and accessible voting process.
The discussions and outcomes of the conference could pave the way for potential reforms in South Africa’s electoral landscape.
