As per reports, citizens have until Friday (23 February) to register to vote for the upcoming national and provincial elections on 29 May.

• Those who still want to register to vote can visit the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) offices in their municipality or use the electoral body’s online portal. After Friday (23 February), the election date will be proclaimed and gazetted.
• Following the proclamation of the election date, the commission will publish the election timetable in the Government Gazette after consultation with the national party liaison committee. The timetable will outline the cut-off dates for the performance of electoral activities.
• Thereafter, individuals must register and cast their votes at the voting station where they are registered. The sole exception to this rule permits a voter to cast their ballot outside the registered voting district, provided they notify the commission by a date specified in the timetable.
