The 2019 national elections are coming up! Your last chance to register to vote in the elections will be on the weekend of 26 and 27 January at your local polling station.
In the meantime, you can use the app at check.da.org.za to check to see whether you are correctly registered on the voters’ roll. First-time registration can only take place at your local Electoral Commission office or on 26 or 27 January at your local polling station. However, those who have registered before can update their details online by visiting https://www.elections.org.za/MyIEC/Account/Register.
