IEC CEO Sy Mamabolo said the Commission is confident that all preparations are in place for free, fair elections on Wednesday.
Mamabolo briefed the media on Tuesday ahead of the start of what analysts called the most crucial elections since 1994, urging all the 26 million eligible voters to go out and cast their votes on Wednesday.
Voting stations will open for voting at 07h00 and close at 21h00 but eligible voters who are still at the station at 21h00 won’t be turned away.
Mamabolo emphasised that said voters must vote where they are registered. The general rule in elections is that a person votes at a voting station where they have registered, he said.
The only exception to the general rule is that a voter may vote outside of their registered voting district only after notifying the CEO. Notifications in this regard closed on May 17.
