Delays in the opening of polling stations in the Rondebosch area have all been dealt with, IEC spokesman Trevor Davids said on Wednesday.
"We were aware of the problems but all those issues have been resolved," Davids said.
"There were issues to do wtih materials and, if they are not there at the time, the station cannot be declared open.
"There were hiccups earlier but all the stations in that ward are now operational."
Earlier, Peter Fisher, local chair of the Democratic Alliance for Ward 59, which includes Rondebosch and Claremont, said there were many delays in the district.
"Of the eight voting stations in the district, there are problems with six."
There had been a 40-minute delay at St Paul's Church in Rondebosch, Cape Town, where DA leader Helen Zille was set to vote.
Fisher said he was also aware of a problem in the Steenberg area.
