Electoral Commission on accreditation for all Results Operation Centres for 2016 Municipal Elections

A central accreditation system will be used for the one national and nine provincial results operation centres for the 2016 Municipal Elections.

Accreditation for all the Results Operation Centres is compulsory and must be done online at https://www.eventoptions.co.za/default/events/IEC/IEC21.htm.

Please select in your application all the venues you will be attending.

The National Results Operation Centre (ROC) will again be in Pretoria in Hall J, Tshwane Events Centre (previously Pretoria International Show Grounds), Soutter Street (off DF Malan Street), Pretoria West.

For the location of the provincial centres, please contact the officials below.

To qualify for accreditation you will have to provide a headshot photograph, a valid media/press card or a signed letter from your station manager/editor on an original letterhead requesting accreditation.

Collection of cards:

Please indicate in your application at which venue you will be collecting your accreditation.

If you are collecting in person, you will be required to show proof of identification. If you are collecting on behalf of others, you will be required to show proof of identification and a letter of authorisation from your manager/editor with the names and ID or Passport numbers of the people you are collecting for.

Please Note: Media representatives do not need accreditation to cover the elections. You will need a media/press card or a letter from your station manager/editor on an original letterhead confirming employment and your ID or Passport.

Access to a voting station is with the approval of the Presiding Officer of the particular voting station.
