“ A party intending to contest the election of the National Assembly, but not the election of one or more or any of the provincial legislatures, may, within the time and in the manner prescribed by or under the Electoral Act, 1993, declare that it supports another party which is contesting the election of a provincial legislature which the first-mentioned party is not contesting, and if it so declares, all votes cast in its favour shall, for the purpose of the election of that particular provincial legislature or legislatures, be deemed to be votes cast in favour of such other party. ”

“ Each party shall be entitled to submit only one list per province, which shall contain the names of not more than the number of seats determined under item 10 for the relevant provincial legislature and in such fixed order of preference as the party may determine. ”

“ If the numbers or boundaries of provinces are altered pursuant to section 124, the Commission shall review the determinations made in terms of items 2 and 10, and such revised determinations shall then be the basis of any elections for the National Assembly or the provincial legislatures held after any such alteration. ”
