Many South Africans got up very early and made their way to their polling station to cast their vote on #ElectionDay 2016.

Young and old, struggle stalwarts and political leaders streamed to the country's 22 612 voting stations to make their mark on Wednesday.

Voting across the country has gotten off to a smooth start at almost all voting stations on Wednesday morning, the IEC's chairperson Glen Mashinini has said.

"The Electoral Commission is particularly encouraged that many voting stations reported strong turnouts from early this morning with voters already waiting to vote before 7am opening,” Mashinini said.

However the IEC acknowledged various glitches and hiccups, promising that they will be attended to.
