Resolved Mis- or disinformation

Outcome

Not upheld

Overview

The complaint is based on an infographic published by the DA which is misleading in terms of skipping the line to vote.

Background & Outcome

The inforgraphic is slightly misleading as the headline does seem to imply that it is possible to skip the line and vote early. The link to the elections site clearly indicates the four criteria that need to be met in order to cast a special vote.
