IEC action adds to voter apathy

The IEC says the review of polling stations was done after assessment of the 2014 turnout, looking at the low numbers at some stations, security of election officers, population mobility, availability of built-up structures and congestion of polling stations in a polling district.

The IEC might have a point in terms of resource shortage, but this will not help with increasing number of voters. It will, without doubt lead to less people registering to cast their votes.
