The Electoral Commission has launched an online voter registration facility allowing new voters to register and existing voters to update or amend their registration.
This is also a crucial part of the Electoral Commission’s plans to boost voter registration despite Covid-19 ahead of the Local Government Elections scheduled for 27 October, the commission said.
Eligible voters will need a cellphone and can register at https://registertovote.elections.org.za, click “Register to Vote Now” and follow the instructions.
South African citizens aged 16 years and older in possession of a SA ID are permitted to register.
Only registered voters 18 and older on election day may vote.
