Ballot papers found

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:00

The Independent Election Commission will investigate reports that ballot papers for Wednesday's elections had been found in Mpumalanga, chairperson Brigalia Bam said on Monday.

The papers were allegedly found on Sunday in a main road in Mpumalanga by a Democratic Alliance member.

"It's not really a crisis for us ... because of the security measures that we have."

While not outlining all the security measures, Bam said they included serial numbers, which allowed the IEC to differentiate its own ballots from any others that may have been circulated.

It was not immediately known how many ballot papers had been found. However, this would be investigated, said Bam.
