Special voting abroad proceeded smoothly, with no major incident, the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) reported on Sunday.
South Africans abroad had the opportunity to cast their ballots on Friday and Saturday, while the South African mission in London, England, was the only voting station that remained open on Sunday to accommodate the more than 24 000 voters registered and approved to vote at that mission.
"At this stage, any reports on voter turnout should be treated as unconfirmed. Analysis of the reports would be speculative. The ballots may only be counted after the close of voting stations in the country on 29 May. Only then may the commission communicate definitively on turnout for the election," reads a statement from the IEC.
