The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) held a national voter registration drive at the weekend, marking the countdown to the November 4 local government elections.
However, online registration remains an additional option beyond the registration weekend, the IEC said.
Across more than 23,000 polling stations nationwide, the IEC machinery opened its doors to secure South Africa’s democratic future.
