On 8 and 9 November 2008, the Electoral Commission (IEC) will open 19 713 voting stations from 8am to 5pm to enable first-time voters to register. It is also an opportunity for voters who have moved house to re-register in their new voting district.
All details are available on the IEC’s website but please note that the site can only be viewed on Internet Explorer. Click here to download Internet Explorer.
If you are on Facebook, join The Voting Drive or a similar group that has up to date information on voter registration. One of the current issues is around South Africans abroad who want to register to vote, read the discussion here.
