Voter registration this weekend for wards to be contested in Municipal Ward By-elections on 28 June 2023
Voter registration will be held this weekend for 10 municipal ward by-elections scheduled to take place in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and the Western Cape provinces on Wednesday, 28 June 2023.
Voting stations in the wards listed below will be open this Saturday, 13 May 2023 and Sunday, 14 May 2023, from 08h00 to 17h00 to allow all eligible voters to register and for current voters to check their registration
details and to provide/update address details where necessary.
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 on 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.
