The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) tells South Africans they have until the end of Sunday to register to vote or update their voting details ahead of the 4 November local government elections. The IEC’s call comes as it reports more than 238,000 voter registration or update transactions have already been processed. Eligible voters who have not yet registered, or who need to correct or refresh their information, are urged to complete the required steps before the cut-off time. The IEC frames the registration period as time-sensitive, noting that failure to register or update details by the deadline could prevent a voter from casting a ballot in the forthcoming local government polls. The IEC therefore encourages eligible citizens to act promptly to ensure their voting information is captured and verified in time for Election Day.
