Midrand - South Africa is poised for the announcement of the 2024 National and Provincial Elections results, set to take place this Sunday evening at the Electoral Commission of South Africa’s (IEC) Results Operations Centre in Midrand. The nation's seventh democratic elections have seen robust participation with millions casting their votes.

According to South African Government News Agency, the official tallying and announcement are scheduled four days post-Election Day to accommodate the complexities introduced by the third ballot, which significantly increased the workload by 50%. This extended timeline ensures thorough processing and validation of votes.

The electoral engagement spanned beyond the borders of South Africa, with voting abroad conducted on May 17 and 18 across 111 South African missions worldwide. Within the country, the early voting phase included special votes cast at 22,626 stations and through home visits, facilitating those registered for early voting.

Observers from both within South Africa and international monitors have kept a close watch on the electoral proceedings, ensuring the transparency and fairness of the voting process. The nation now waits for the final results, which will mark a crucial moment in continuing to shape South Africa's democratic landscape.
