The Electoral Commission has published the fourteenth episode of its official podcast, in which electoral operations manager Vusi Vuma explains how votes are counted and how results are produced.

The commission announced the episode on its official X account on 4 November. Host Kea Ncube speaks to Vuma, who the commission describes as drawing on deep institutional knowledge to break down and simplify the counting and results process.

The episode is available on YouTube, Spotify and SABC+.

The notice does not set out any change to voting or counting procedures, and the commission gives no further detail on the episode’s contents beyond the subject.
