# The Electoral Commission says it remains committed to ensuring all South Africans can participate fully in elections. General Manager for Civic and Democracy Education and Research, Moagisi Letlhaku, reaffirmed the commission’s support for inclusive participation and accessibility for marginalised communities. She assured voters that ballot secrecy is protected through the Universal Ballot Template, which assists voters with visual impairments to cast their votes independently and confidentially. The IEC says inclusive and accessible elections remain central to strengthening democracy and protecting every citizen’s right to vote.
