Show Notes

South Africas Electoral Commission anticipates a record number of candidates in the upcoming local government elections, with nominations set to close by the end of July. The surge in applicants follows a pattern seen in past polls, but officials are concerned about the potential for long ballot papers to confuse voters. To address this, theyve introduced deposit fees for candidates and launched a new logo with the slogan Get Up, Show Up, Vote to encourage participation.
