As the results of the 2024 national and provincial elections continue to stream in, the Electoral Commission of South Africa’s (IEC) dashboard and election results screens have crashed at the National Results and Operations Centre (ROC) at Gallagher Estate in Midrand.
It is understood that the glitch has also affected the IEC’s provisional results centres, its website, and even the mobile app.
The cause of the glitch, which occurred on Friday morning, remains unclear.
The IEC issued a statement saying: “We apologise for the issue with our public-facing NPE system and are working on restoring service. The results system is still operational, and local offices continue to capture results.”
🚨ALERT🚨
