Sunday marks the Electoral Commission(IEC)’s last day of its voter registration drive for the South Africa’s (SA) local government elections (LGE) on November 4.
It says its final voter registration weekend started on a positive note on Saturday.
The commission says more than 99% of the country’s 23 699 registration stations opened on time.
By midday, it had processed more than 238 000 voter registrations.
Addressing the media in Centurion, south of Pretoria, the IEC’s Chief Executive Officer, Sy Mamabolo, explained how some provinces fared.
“Free State province, 13 000 and the Northern Cape province, 6 000. They are also recording voter activity, as citizens respond positively to the commission’s call to register and update details before the conclusion of the voting station-based registration,” says Mamabolo.
