The Commission said public participation is essential to ensuring that the final code strikes an appropriate balance between protecting electoral processes and upholding South Africa's constitutional values.

Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the official IEC Careers Portal to view available positions, create a candidate profile and submit their applications online.

The announcement follows consultations with Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa, who will officially proclaim the Election Day later this year.

Citizens are encouraged to rely on verified information from the Electoral Commission of South Africa and other official sources to ensure the integrity of the democratic process is protected.
