In 2019 South Africa will this hold its sixth democratic national and provincial elections. A vital part of any democracy is to guarantee that voting takes place in an atmosphere which is considered free and fair.
There are currently close to 26 million registered voters in South Africa. A credible and up-to-date voter’s role is a vital instrument to ensure free and fair elections.
The IEC will therefore host a voter registration drive on the weekend of 10 and 11 March 2018 to capture the addresses of voters and to register new ones. Over 22 000 voting stations will be open from 08h00 to 17h00 nationwide so that voters can check, update and confirm their address details.
You only need a green, bar-coded South African ID book, smartcard ID, or valid Temporary Identity Certificate (TIC)
This is also an opportunity for people to update their details if they have changed their address since the last election. It is vital that the correct addresses are captured so that the credibility of the voter’s role is beyond reproach.
We must ensure that people vote in the districts where they reside.
