A special voter registration weekend will be held for the upcoming by-election in ward 15 (Birchleigh, Van Riebeeck Park and part of Glen Marais) on August 7.
The ward became vacant after the resignation of DA ward councillor Gideon van Zyl.
Voting stations will be open on June 22 and 23 from 8am to 5pm 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 with them – either a green barcoded ID book, a smart card ID, or a valid temporary ID certificate.
They will also need to complete their physical home address on registration or provide sufficient particulars of their place of residence. Documented proof of address (eg a municipal account) is not required.
Voters may also check and update their details at the local electoral commission (IEC) office 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, the IEC warned.
These voting stations will be open:
• Laerskool Kruinsig
• Wynand Marais Community Centre
• Hoërskool Jeugland
• Laerskool Birchleigh
