    As voters left their voting stations during the 2016 local elections, the University of Johannesburg’s Centre for Social Change gathered information from them to determine various aspects of their identity.

    Although the final results will be released later today in the full report titled “Local Government Elections 2016: Some Preliminary Findings from an Exit Survey of Voters”, there are a few previews released last night at UJ.

    According to Times Live:

    – EFF and DA voters tended to be younger than those supporting the ANC.

    – The ANC was more popular among female than male voters‚ the opposite was true among EFF voters, and that DA voters were fairly evenly divided.

    – The ANC did well among voters living in RDP houses and among recipients of social grants‚ and the EFF did well among voters living in shacks.

    – Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed voted for the same party as in 2014 and 14% voted for a different party. Of those who had changed party‚ most moved from the ANC to the EFF.

    The survey was “undertaken at 21 voting stations in Gauteng‚ North West‚ Mpumalanga and Free State‚ most of them located in working-class neighbourhoods”. While looking at the results, one should keep that fact in mind.

    I am sure we will hear more about it tomorrow, and then maybe people will stop assuming how and why voters voted – although I highly doubt that.
