POLOKWANE – According to the IEC, around 750 000 people are eligible to vote in Limpopo but had not registered by September 17 and most of them fell into the first-time voter group.
Provincial electoral officer Nkaro Mateta says the final voter registration weekend was held to give an opportunity to, among others, first-time voters to take part in the election.
“We need to motivate young people to take part in elections and to make their votes count. We want them to realise that they have a say in who represents them in the municipal council.”
