Voter registration will be held this weekend for twenty four (24) municipal ward by-elections scheduled to take place in all nine provinces on Wednesday, 9 December 2020.
A total of 118 voting stations will open on Saturday, 31 October 2020 and Sunday 1 November 2020 from 08h00 to 17h00 in the below listed wards. The registration weekend will allow all eligible voters to register while already registered voters will get an opportunity to check their registration details and provide updates where applicable.
Voters should take their identity document (ID) with them – either a green barcoded ID book, a smartcard ID, or a valid Temporary ID Certificate. They will also need to complete their physical home address on registration or provide sufficient particularities of their place of residence. Documented proof of address (e.g. a municipal account) is not required.
Voters may also check and update their details at their local (municipal) Electoral Commission (IEC) office weekdays during office hours.
Voters are reminded that it is a criminal offence to register and vote in a ward in which they are not ordinarily resident.
