IRR Polling 2026: The Political State of Play - SA's Women Voters 2021-2026
Aug 31, 2026
This report is the second instalment in the IRR’s 2026 opinion-survey research on South Africa’s political and social condition. This report examines women as voters, using the IRR’s March 2026 polling together with comparable polling from 2021 to 2025 to examine how the female vote has changed, how women seem to differ politically from men, and what may explain those differences as well as the political consequences.
