The Electoral Commission said 8 899 registration officials have been trained to undertake the registration procedures at the voting stations. VoterRegistration IEC elections2021
The Commission launched a new online registration portal in July 2021 and so far 156 651 voters have successfully used the system to register.
In order to register, voters need to bring an identity document which may be a Smart Card, green barcoded book or a Temporary Identification Certificate. It is essential that a voter indicates an address or a description of a place where they live. Proof of address is not a requirement for purposes of registration. Jurisprudence from our courts provides that the Commission must record a voter’s address and ensure that each voter is registered within a Ward in which they are ordinarily resident.
Voters who are registered can confirm their registration online on the website, on the IEC APP and by calling the contact centre at 0800 11 8000 . Furthermore, an identity number can be sent to 32810 via the Short Message System .
