Alberton’s guide to registration weekend
Alberton Civic Centre is among some of the stations Alberton residents can visit to register to vote.
How do I register to vote?
First, ensure you have the necessary identity document – a green bar-coded ID book, an ID smartcard, or a temporary identity certificate. If you don’t, you will need to apply for one at the Department of Home Affairs.
With your identity document, you must then register in person – you can’t do it online, for example, or by email.
You can then register in two ways:
Any time before the president proclaims the date of the election, you can register at your local IEC municipal office – but you must first contact the office and make an appointment. The IEC has a list of municipal offices with all the contact details you need.
This weekend you can register from 08:00 to 17:00 at the voting station for your voting district. Find your voting station using the map on the IEC website, or phone 0800 11 8000 on Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.
How old must I be to register?
Even though you may only vote if you are 18 or older, you may register on the voters’ roll from the age of 16.
