LGE 2026 | No campaigning permitted on Voting Day
Today at midnight marks the final day of campaigning for South Africa’s Local Government Elections.
This is in accordance with the electoral timetable. Major political parties wrapped up their final mass mobilisation efforts over the weekend leading into the final hours of the campaign timetable.
The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure has warned that campaigning will not be permitted on Voting Day, cautioning that anyone who defies the prohibition will be committing a crime and face a response from deployed law enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of South Africa, announced that yesterday’s special voting got off to a positive start.
To discuss all this, we are joined by SABC Political Editor Mzwandile Mbeje and Dr Ronesh Dhawraj, SABC News Research Editor.
