Twitter: IEC Election Furniture

Outcome

Overview

The complaint is about a photo showing IEC election furniture, but no evidence that IEC officials are doing the presentation, yet the implication is that it's the IEC doing 'training' with ANC branded 'tablecloth' over the furniture.

Background & Outcome

This appears to be a classroom, and the IEC furniture that is being used was donated to the school after the registration weekend of the 18 and 19 September 2021 as is custom. The IEC does not "role-back" its cardboard furniture after a registration weekend or after the elections. With the cardboard furniture being donated to the school the ownership of the cardboard furniture then vests with the school in question to be used accordingly.
