Further to my first announcement dated 7 February 2023, I wish to inform the public that, during the elections of 12 February 2023, compliance checks were carried out in 80 polling stations across the country.
From the audits it was established that the procedures/instructions that my Office had set out in the announcement dated 1 February 2023, regarding the prohibition of the proclamation of ID card numbers and personal data that representatives of political combinations/parties/candidates are entitled to hold, within the polling stations, were complied with.
To the 25 complaints received up to the first round of the elections, 52 complaints relating to the second round of the elections have been added. Most of the complaints relate to telephone calls and/or unsolicited promotional sms messages.
As I mentioned in the first communication (07/02/23), all complaints will be duly investigated and we will inform you of their outcome at a later date.
