ANC no letters.jpg ANC Statement, 14 June 2016 Constitutional Court Matter between Khan and Others and IEC The African National Congress welcomes the judgment of the Constitutional Court delivered today, 14 June 2016, on the matter of Khan & Others v the IEC related to the registration of voters and the details of the voters' roll. We appreciate the sensitivity of the Constitutional Court to the need to balance the guarantee of participation in the upcoming elections by all citizens of the Republic whilst instructing the IEC to improve its data capturing systems. This judgment reaffirms the ANC's long held view that in our democratic dispensation no citizen would be denied the hard won right to vote or in any way be disenfranchised. The ANC acknowledges and supports the need for improvements in the collection and registration of personal details of all voters, in particular residential addresses, in preparation for all elections. Whilst we appreciate that all registered voters will be able to cast their votes for the parties of their choice on the 3rd August 2016, we further implore all our people to diligently follow up with the IEC to ensure that they are accurately registered in the National Voters' Roll beyond these elections. The IEC must urgently develop a systematic program that will encourage this process. The African National Congress remains committed to upholding the integrity of our Electoral process and as we welcome this judgment, we view its directives as an opportunity to further improve the credible, free and fair nature that has characterized our elections.
