Phala Phala voting process explained

Moreover, Mothapo said: “The National Assembly membership list will be used as the voters roll. All seats will be clearly marked with the name of the member”.

“This will be done to assist the voting process and ensure the smooth running of proceedings in the absence of desk microphones,” Mothapo explained.

“The secretariat will call each member according to parties.”

“Once a division has been demanded and bells have rung for a stipulated time, doors to Chamber will be locked and no member will be allowed to enter or leave Chamber.”
