If Parliament passes the Electoral Amendment Bill in its current form, it runs the risk of the draft amendment being challenged in court.

The organisations are demanding an electoral system that allows independent candidates at national and provincial level to contest on equal footing with those representing political parties. Parliament has a December deadline to finalise the Electoral Amendment Act. Founder of the Independent Candidates Association SA, Michael Louis says the Bill in its current form is flawed.

Louis says one of the factors lacking in this process is broader consultation by different stakeholders.
