Hill-Lewis tours Cape Town old age homes and voting stations as special votes go down
The DA leader spent election day checking readiness at care homes and polling stations across the city, with approved special voters given a second chance to cast a ballot tomorrow.
DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis spent election day moving between old age homes and voting stations across Cape Town, checking that arrangements were ready for voters, the party said in a post on X.
The party thanked everyone who turned out to vote, saying every single vote matters, and reminded approved special voters that tomorrow is another chance to make their mark.
The DA urged supporters to show up, tag the party and use the hashtag #ElectionInk2026.
The post did not say how many sites Hill-Lewis visited, what he found at them, or whether any problems were reported. It also gave no figure for turnout or for the number of special votes cast.
