The Constitutional Court has agreed to further extend the deadline for the finalisation of the Electoral Amendment Bill until February 28.

In June 2020, the Constitutional Court declared that the Electoral Act was constitutionally invalid as it was impossible for candidates to stand for political office without being members of political parties.

In December, Parliament lodged an urgent application to the Court for a further extension.

The Constitutional Court further extended, temporarily, its declaration of invalidity order deadline for the Electoral Act until January 31 to allow Parliament to finalise the Electoral Amendment Bill.

“On Friday 20 January, the court agreed to further suspend its invalidity order from 10 December 2022 to 28 February 2023,” said Parliament.
