# The IEC has dismissed social media claims that election results in Wards 4 and 23 of Emalahleni Municipality in Mpumalanga are being withheld because ballots exceeded registered voters. Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Masego Sheburi says turnout in both wards was just over 50 percent. The Commission has also rejected claims that a municipal official voted four times, explaining that the voter was initially scanned at the wrong voting district before being directed to the correct one.
