On Monday, the ballot papers fell off a municipal truck that was transporting election material from the White River warehouse to the Area Managers in Hazyview.

The ballot papers were found in a street by a man and his wife who informed the IEC.

“The credibility of today’s (Wednesday) election shall not be compromised by this incident,” said the IEC in a statement.
