‘In preparation for the 2024 National and Provincial General Election, the Commission conducted a series of activities to ensure that this will be a smooth election. This includes the re-delimitation of voting districts (VDs), targeted communication and registration to register voters affected by VD boundary changes, staff recruitment and training, voter management device enhancement and a dry run.” 

Masinga said that with these preparations in place, they can confidently say they are ready for the registration weekend.
