What should I do if I am not going to be in my voting district on voting day?
If you are outside of the voting district where you are registered on voting day, 29 May 2024, you must notify the Electoral Commission by completing an online Section 24A form to inform us in which voting district you would like to vote on voting day. By capturing the address where you will be, the system will identify the relevant voting district. Remember to share this link with family and friends who may be travelling on Election Day too.
By law, all South African residents must register to vote where they reside, and vote where they are registered. However, in terms of the new Electoral Amendment Act, Section 24A, a voter may vote outside of their voting district in-country, but ONLY if they notified the Electoral Commission (IEC) in advance during the timeframe specified in the Election Timetable, that is, by Friday, 17 May 2024, 23:59, indicating at which voting district they intend to vote.
