JOHANNESBURG - The IEC says voter education will be a key focus going forward.
The commission says it needs to do more to help the public identify fake information and understand electoral processes.
This comes amid a surge in misinformation and disinformation on social media.
"We need to improve one way or the other in terms of making sure that we start using even technology to make sure that people are able to even go back to material," said the IEC's Vusi Vuma.
"People are familiarised in terms of our electrical processes. And when I talk training, I'm not talking training for our staff, training for the general public. There's a lot of disinformation, misinformation."
