GEORGE NEWS - If you haven't registered to vote in your ward, or need to update your details in order to vote in next year's elections, you can do so today and tomorrow.
Visit your voting station during the voter registration weekend between 08:00 and 17:00.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) urges existing voters to update their details and encourages first-time voters to register during the registration weekend on 18 and 19 November 2023.
To register, you must have either a green bar-coded ID book or smartcard ID, or a valid temporary identity certificate (TIC). To find your correct voting station, use the IEC voting station finder app at https://maps.elections.org.za/vsfinder/
Alternatively, visit the George IEC office in Suite 110, Bateleur Park, 133 Cradock Street during office hours or you can register to vote or check and update your registration address online at registertovote.elections.org.za.

All South African citizens aged 16 years or older can register, but to vote, you have to be 18 years or older.
You must also provide an address where you live so that the IEC can place you in the correct ward and voting district. The IEC needs no proof of address.
You need to re-register when:
• Your home address changes.
• If IEC informs you that your voting district boundaries have changed.
