Concourt to hear arguments in Tlokwe matter
Updated | By Maryke Vermaak
The Constitutional Court is set to hear arguments in the Tlokwe by-elections matter on Monday.
The outcome could impact on the upcoming municipal elections.
The status of voters, whose addresses were not on the voters' roll, will have to be determined by the highest court in the land.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is seeking clarity from the Constitutional Court on its ruling that the voters' roll must contain the addresses of voters.
This comes after a ruling by the court in November 2015 that the Tlokwe by-elections were not free and fair, exactly for this reason.
The IEC has indicated it will argue millions will be disenfranchised if they can't vote in the municipal elections, but the point will also argued that the elections won't be free if the status quo remains.
