跟进：南非选票印刷进入关键一周，约660万张加印选票须在10月30日前印完
南非地方政府选举将于11月4日举行，选举委员会（IEC）的选票印刷进入关键一周：因宪法法院判决而新增的约660万张选票须在10月30日前印完。IEC首席执行官西·马马博洛承认，法院判决使筹备工作复杂化，委员会正进入「非常关键的一周」。特别投票定于11月2日与3日举行。
事件源于IEC在10月16日的决定：宪法法院此前裁定，非国大181名候选人（涉及6个市镇）应恢复参选资格；IEC随后将同等救济扩展至另外32个政党——这些政党已提名合规候选人并缴纳了选举保证金，只是未按时提交最终候选人名单。IEC主席莫索托·莫埃皮亚表示，只救济非国大而排除处境相同的政党，将违背平等对待原则；另有13个政党因未缴保证金等原因不符合救济条件。
这项扩展影响107个市镇，相关选票需求约3300万张，其中2700万张此前已经印好。IEC表示不预期选举延期，并将逐一联系32个政党确认参选意愿，获准的政党可以补交或替换候选人名单。
Follow-Up: South Africa's Ballot Printing Enters Critical Week Ahead of November 4 Local Elections
South Africa's local government elections take place on November 4, and the Electoral Commission (IEC) has entered a critical week of ballot printing: about 6.6 million additional ballots required by a Constitutional Court judgment must be printed by October 30. IEC chief executive Sy Mamabolo acknowledged the ruling had complicated preparations. Special voting is scheduled for November 2 and 3.
The scramble stems from the IEC's October 16 decision. The Constitutional Court had ordered 181 ANC candidates across six municipalities reinstated; the IEC then extended the same relief to 32 other parties that had nominated compliant candidates and paid their election deposits but failed to submit final candidate lists on time. IEC chairperson Mosotho Moepya said excluding similarly situated parties would offend the principle of parity of treatment. Thirteen other parties did not qualify, including for failing to pay deposits.
The extension affects 107 municipalities and requires about 33 million ballots, of which 27 million had already been printed. The IEC says it does not anticipate postponing the election and will contact all 32 parties to confirm whether they still intend to contest; qualifying parties may complete or substitute candidate names.
