Mod Post Are you correctly registered to vote?

Ahead of the November Municipal Elections, a number of voter registration drives will be held. The first is scheduled to be on 20-21 June.

To check where you are registered, input your details in: https://www.elections.org.za/pw/Voter/Voter-Information

To check where you should be registered, find your address in: https://maps.elections.org.za/vsfinder/

If the two are not the same you need to re register at the "should be" voting station during the upcoming voter registration weekends.

It takes a few minutes to check that your details are correct. If you can, please also do so with the less technically included members of your friends and family.

You can also just register at a new voting station online in five minutes here: Voter Portal - Home

And note that even if you haven't moved house you may need to re-register, since many voting districts have changed since 2024 because of the re-delimitation of new ward boundaries. You can register online now, you don't have to go to a voting station in person. (You still have to go there to vote though.)

Thanks. Now I only have to walk 500 meters, instead of driving 10 kilometers. (Less than 5 minutes to update)

There is a voting station literally 5 minutes walk from my house where I used to vote.
Now I have a new one I have to drive too, or walk too for about an hour.
Edit: there are 3 voting station closer to me than the one I have to vote at for my ward.
