MyVoteCounts (MVC), launched almost two years ago, is a dynamic campaign aimed at improving the accountability, transparency and inclusiveness of elections and politics in South Africa in general.
The campaign, formed by citizens and members of civil society organisations, aims to do this in two ways:
• By advocating for change in the country’s electoral system so that people can elect their own individual MPs from their constituencies, instead of MPs being elected for them.
• By urging political parties to reform party finding, making it completely transparent. MVC believes that it should be mandatory for parties to disclose where their funds are coming from.
If you feel just as strongly as they do about party funding and changing the electoral system, get involved! Members of the public are invited to join the MVC campaign, or to petition Parliament to put an end to secret party funding.
