The Electoral Commission (IEC) has ordered a revote at Bongani Gemeenskapsaal Voting District in Ward 3 of the Siyancuma Local Municipality in the Northern Cape after more than 100 cast but uncounted ballot papers were destroyed.
The decision follows the storming of a counting centre, where the ballot papers were destroyed before counting could be completed.
The IEC said the revote would give affected residents another opportunity to exercise their democratic right to vote.
Special vote applications will be open from 10 to 14 November 2026 through the IEC website, by SMS to 32249 at a cost of R1, or at local IEC offices.
Approved special voters will cast their ballots on 17 November between 08:00 and 17:00, while the main revote is scheduled for 18 November from 07:00 to 21:00.
The Commission stressed that only registered voters in the affected voting district will participate in the revote.
