South Africa’s political parties are gearing up for an intensive voter registration drive this weekend.
The Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) urged all South Africa’s eligible voters to visit their voting stations over the weekend as part of a national campaign to update the voters’ roll in preparation for the 2019 elections.
All voting stations around the country would open for the public between 8am and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, to assist new voters to register; allow already registered voters who have moved since they registered to re-register in their correct voting district; and allow registered voters whose address details were not on the voters’ roll to provide this information.
The IEC said 22 000 voting stations would be open across South Africa.
African National Congress (ANC) President, Cyril Ramaphosa will be in Johannesburg on Saturday and Tshwane on Sunday.
He is expected to visit various communities in Johannesburg and Tshwane urging first-time voters, primarily the youth, to register, and for those who are registered, to check and confirm their registration details.
