Today last day to register
As the election date is expected to be proclaimed today, it will be the last day residents can register for the upcoming municipal elections.
The voter’s roll for the upcoming municipal elections closes today, meaning South African citizens who have not yet registered have until the end of the day to do so.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) said that today is the final opportunity to register, re-register in a new voting district or to update their registration details, including providing addresses, at their local IEC office.
The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, David van Rooyen, is today (23 May) expected to proclaim the election date, 3 August, set by the president last month.
“Once the election is proclaimed the voters’ roll is closed no changes to the voters’ roll, including additional registrations or re-registrations, may be accepted,” IEC spokesperson, Kate Bapela, said.
To make use of the final opportunity, Bapela said voters should visit their local IEC office with an official South African ID document, which is either a green barcoded ID book, a smart card ID or a valid Temporary Identity Certificate.
“They will also need to provide details of their address on the registration form.”
In Krugersdorp, you can find the IEC office on the corner of Commissioner and Monument Street, in the Civic Centre, which you can call on 011 951 2314.
