This is the reason we are concerned about the goings-on at the electoral commission, where we keep receiving reports about disagreements between the secretariat and the commissioners. By law, the ballot papers should be ready and supplied to the commission by July 22 to allow for time to organise and distribute them across the country. The commissioners are just a few months in the office and are still learning the ropes. But the Elections Act is explicit on the roles of the commission and the secretariat. Similarly, the law and electoral regulations have clear timelines that must be respected.
