FINAL VOTER REGISTRATION WEEKEND

With less than 100 days to go before the 2026 Local Government Elections, this weekend is the final opportunity to register at a voting station before the election date is officially announced.

📅 Saturday, 1 August 2026
📅 Sunday, 2 August 2026
⏰ 08h00 – 17h00 at voting stations nationwide.

What residents need to know

* Register if you have never registered before.
* Check your voter registration status.
* Update your address details if you have moved.
* Bring your South African ID card, green ID book, or temporary ID.

Important

Once the election date is officially proclaimed, the voters’ roll closes immediately. No new registrations or address changes can be made after that.

Local Government Elections are different

You must register where you live, and you can only vote in the voting district where you are registered. If you have moved, update your address now.

Online option (data-free)

You can still register or update your details online until Proclamation Day:
registertovote.elections.org.za

Home Affairs offices will also align their operating hours this weekend to assist residents who require ID documents.

Don’t miss this final registration weekend. Be counted. Be heard. Vote.

Five deceased after vehicle rolls - R612 Braemar, KZN South Coast

A short while ago IPSS Medical Rescue received reports of a motor vehicle accident on the R612 near Braemar on the KZN South Coast.

On arrival paramedics were faced with a horrific scene. A light motor vehicle travelling on an adjacent road had rolled down an embankment and came to rest on the R612.

Five of the six occupants were ejected from the vehicle and sadly sustained fatal injuries. One occupant, a back seat passenger, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital by EMRS.

The scene was handed over to SAPS for further investigation into the cause of the accident.

Our condolences to the families of the deceased.
