The Centre for Analytics and Behavioural Change drew on five barriers analysing voter abstention to research the online elections conversation. These barriers include: personal and administrative barriers, political alignment, disillusionment with politics and performance evaluations. The conversation included debates on whether voting the ANC out would rid the country of corruption and by extension loadshedding; conversations about coalitions and whether they would be beneficial for the country and concerns about the difficulties faced by South Africans living abroad in preparing for the elections.
