This comes after the commission announced that a national voter registration weekend will take place on June 20 and 21.

They have called on all South Africans eligible to vote to register for the Local Government Elections where they live using the correct channels.

“The IEC does not use the domain such as (examtapzme.github.io). Members of the public are advised not to click on links and urged not to share their personal information (ID number, phone number, address, etc.) on these websites,” said IEC national spokesperson Kate Bapela.

The only official online voter registration portal is registertovote.elections.org.za or www.elections.org.za.

The IEC’s self-service online voter registration portal is available 24/7.

Between November 2025 and March 2026, a total of 132 092 voters registered via the online self-service portal.
