AFTER two days of special voting, millions of South Africans head to the polls today (November 4) to elect local government representatives in the Local Government Elections.

With just hours to go before voting stations open we have compiled an essential checklist of where your voting stations are, the dos and don’ts on voting day, and how to double-check your registration details.
