ELECTION NEWS - South Africans can visit any of the 22,924 voting stations around the country today to cast their ballots in the national elections, but will have to be in their home province to cast their votes in the provincial election.
If you are voting outside the province in which you initially registered, you will only receive a national ballot.
Voting stations opened at 07:00 this morning and will close at 21:00 tonight.
The National Ballot paper will contain some 48 political parties – 19 more than those who contested the elections in 2014.
The IEC has provided some easy steps to help you through the voting process:
- Find your nearest voting station
- Present your green bar ID, Smartcard ID, or a valid temporary ID certificate
- Check if your name appears on the voters roll and scan your ID
- Receive your ballot papers and proceed to a voting booth to make your mark
