Voters are counting the days until the national election on May 29, but three important dates are still to be ticked off the calendar before the big day for all voters.
Friday, May 3, was the final day for registered voters to apply for early voting and home visits in the upcoming general elections.
There are two categories of special votes – the infirm who need to be visited at home or a place of confinement and those who vote early at their regular voting station. For such application, the voter must be a South African citizen, registered voter and be at least 18 years on voting day and must provide an address where they will be on May 29.
