The Department of International Relations and Cooperation risks being hauled to court if it does not increase the number of temporary foreign missions, so that expats can vote abroad.
The DA Abroad network has written to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) asking it to request temporary missions where South Africans can vote abroad.
If the IEC and department do not oblige, the party will challenge the government in court, said its chairperson, Ludre Stevens.
