The Commission's Chairperson, Mosotho Moepya, revealed this during the announcement of this year’s results on Sunday evening.
‘Section 10 of the Local Government Electoral Act provides that if ballot papers in an election at a voting station are lost, destroyed, or unlawfully removed as this was before votes cast at the station are counted, the commission may allow a revote at that station on a date to be determined by the commission'.
Moepya said they would indicate when the revote will be conducted.
