CHECK HERE IF YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS

To check your registration details, you can:

• send an SMS with your ID number to 32810 (R1.00 per SMS);
• download our mobile app and enter your ID number;
• Check your voter registration details;
• or check at your local IEC office during office hours.

HERE IS HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU NEED TO RE-REGISTER

To find out if you need to re-register:

• Login or create a profile to My IEC voter portal and Click, Check and Confirm your address. View and manage your address.

Or alternatively, you can:

• Check your voter registration details and make a note of your voting station and voting district number.
• Go to our Voting Station Finder and search for your current home address. On the map, locate the voting district number (blue digits within the green borders of your district – see below). Compare the voting district number here to your registration details – if they’re not the same, you need to re-register in your new voting district.
  
• Apply for registration in your new voting district at your new voting station during a registration weekend (takes place in the months before a major election), or at the local IEC office responsible for your voting district during office hours (please phone first to make an appointment). Important: Please note that you can’t register at our national or provincial offices, only the local IEC offices.
• Wait at least 7 days and then check your voter registration details again to make sure your voting district and voting station have changed. Please note: Voting station venues may change, so please check your voter registration details to confirm your voting station before going there to register (only during special registration weekends) or vote.
