Moved since you registered?

If you have moved home (even a short distance) since you registered, your voting district and voting station may have changed and you may need to re-register.

Share this page:

Important: During municipal elections and by-elections, you must vote at the voting station where you are registered, so it is important to re-register whenever you move or your voting district boundaries change.

How do I know if I need to re-register?

To find out if you need to re-register:

  • Login or create a profile to My IEC voter portal and Click, Check and Confirm your address. View and manage your address.

Or alternatively, you can:

  • Check your voter registration details and make a note of your voting station and voting district number.
  • Go to our Voting Station Finder and search for your current home address. On the map, locate the voting district number (blue digits within the green borders of your district - see below). Compare the voting district number here to your registration details - if they're not the same, you need to re-register in your new voting district.
  • Apply for registration in your new voting district at your new voting station during a registration weekend (takes place in the months before a major election), or at the local IEC office responsible for your voting district during office hours (please phone first to make an appointment). Important: Please note that you can't register at our national or provincial offices, only the local IEC offices.
  • Wait at least 7 days and then check your voter registration details again to make sure your voting district and voting station have changed. Please note: Voting station venues may change, so please check your voter registration details to confirm your voting station before going there to register (only during special registration weekends) or vote.
