ADC Demands Legal Safeguards for E-Transmission in Electoral Amendment Bill

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) issued a statement clarifying its stance on the Electoral Amendment Bill recently passed by the Senate. The party emphasized the need for legal provisions to safeguard the real-time electronic transmission of election results.

ADC expressed concerns over ambiguous clauses in the bill that could potentially undermine the integrity of future elections. The party highlighted the importance of ensuring certainty and transparency in the transmission and collation of election results to maintain public confidence in the electoral system.

ADC urged the National Assembly to address the dilution of provisions in the bill and align it with the final version that supports electronic transmission of results. The party reaffirmed its commitment to electoral transparency and credibility, emphasizing the need for a clear legal framework rather than political assurances.
