Elections D-Day: S Africans have their say and make their mark

The politicians have had their say during campaigning, and two days of special votes have been cast. Now, since dawn on Wednesday, South Africans have been making their way to wait in line at voting stations around the country to make their mark at the ballot box – three Xs in all – in the national and provincial elections, 30 years into democracy. Daily Maverick’s 2024 elections team has been reporting and filming from multiple stations – as well as from a helicopter – as voting gains momentum, with 27,672,264 people registered to vote. Stations will be open until 9pm, then the counting begins to determine who will run the country.

Ok... voting done and dusted l. Less than 20 mins with virtually no queue. #saelections24 . I found it interesting as to which parties had already set up thier stands and which had not at our voting stations. To me it spoke to local organisation. Let's just say that the usual candidates were as usual disappointing... #vote

My fellow South Africans, Bhekisisa has done some pretty impressive work creating this party comparison tool ahead of this month's elections. Didn't work well for me on mobile, and some parties still to come, but I was very impressed.
