Parliament is in the process of amending the electoral laws ahead of next year’s general elections.

Image: ReutersParliament is in the process of amending the Electoral laws ahead of next year’s general elections. This, after the Constitutional Court declared the Electoral Act invalid in so far as it does not allow independent candidates to contest elections at provincial and national levels.

Currently, independents can only contest at the local government level. The New Nation Movement deemed this to be unconstitutional, and the apex court agreed. Public hearings were also conducted across the country. This extensive public participation process soon made the committee realise it would not meet the deadline. It then approached the ConCourt for a six-month extension.Electoral reform has been an ongoing discussion in South Africa for years. The Van Zyl Slabbert report was commissioned by Cabinet in 2003 to look at this very issue.

He stressed the importance of broader electoral reform, saying it is an issue that needs to be dealt with. One of the ways in which Motsoaledi’s department wants to send a signal about its commitment to electoral reform is with the provision for the establishment of a panel in the bill, which will investigate what exactly is needed to reform the system, and how it should be implemented.’s Select Committee on Security and Justice after the bill was passed by the National Assembly.

Civil society organisations weighed in on this second request. The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution says this demonstrates how poorly Parliament has handled the process. The Electoral Commission says this relief by the ConCourt will not hamper its preparations for the 2024 national elections.
