Publication of the election timetable
The Electoral Commission yesterday held a meeting with the National Party Liaison Committee (NPLC) to consult on the Election Timetable to be used in the 2014 National and Provincial Elections (NPE).
Following this consultative process, the Electoral Commission is now in a position to publish the Election Timetable, setting the dates and deadlines for various aspects of the upcoming national and provincial elections including the submission of party candidate lists, objections to candidates, applications for special votes and notifications by overseas voters.
The Election Timetable covers the key legal requirements to be met by voters, political parties and the Electoral Commission over the 70 days leading up to the 7 May 2014 elections.
