The Electoral Commission of South Africa has welcomed the announcement of the date for the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE), saying it provides crucial clarity for all stakeholders.
Chief Electoral Officer Sy Mamabolo said the confirmed date enables the Commission to intensify its operational planning. “The announcement of the election date provides clarity for all role players and certainty for the Electoral Commission as we continue our work to deliver free and fair municipal elections,” Mamabolo said.
The Commission has urged all eligible South Africans to verify their voter registration status ahead of the polls. Voters are reminded that they may only cast their ballots at the voting station where they are registered.
The IEC has also made its online registration platform available via its official website, allowing users to register or update their details using a desktop computer or mobile device.
