THE 2011 municipal elections will take place some time be- tween April and June this year.
All the 20 868 voting districts nation-wide will have their stations open for registration over the weekend of 5 and 6 February from 08:00 to 17:00 on each day. Just over 60 000 registration officials have been trained for the voter registration weekend and no less than 196 000 staff members will be recruited for Election Day.
If you have turned 18 since the last election five years ago, or have moved to a new address since the last election, you should visit the voting station nearest your home on 5 or 6 February to register.
An SMS facility has been made available to voters to check their registration through a cell phone on all three networks, namely Vodacom, MTN and Cell C. All that a voter has to do is to type in his/her identity number and send it to 32810 on any of the three networks and he/she will in return receive confirmation of his/her registration details.
In addition registration details can be verified at any time through the ‘Am I registered?’ facility on www.elections.org. za.
