The metro urges all residents who are not registered, but eligible to vote in the upcoming national elections to register at Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) offices in selected Ekurhuleni customer care centres.
Though President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced the date of the election as May 8, the date is yet to be gazetted, and therefore, registration has not yet closed.
Residents of Ekurhuleni who have not collected their IDs are urged to visit Home Affairs to collect them.
About 19 000 ID cards and green barcoded ID documents remain uncollected from Ekurhuleni Home Affairs offices.
Residents can call the IEC on 080 060 1190, SMS their ID numbers to 32810 (charged at R1) to get their registration status and their current voting station or visit the IEC website at www.elections.org.za to check their current registration details and voting station location.
