# The Electoral Commission is investigating an incident of interference at a counting station in Douglas in the Northern Cape, where ballot papers were allegedly torn before counting could begin. The IEC’s deputy CEO for Electoral Operations, Masego Sheburi, says members of a political party stormed and laid siege to the counting station. He says at least one-thousand-300 ballots were cast at the affected voting station. The IEC is considering how the incident will affect the votes, describing the conduct as unacceptable.
