This weekend, 5-6 February, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is holding its first voter registration weekend, ahead of this year’s local government elections. In the City of Cape Town and many other DA-run municipalities, the DA has proved that it delivers better government for all the people. By registering to vote, you can extend this record of delivery to more South Africans.

In the municipal election you will only be able to vote where you are registered. This weekend is therefore an opportunity both to make sure you are registered, and also to ensure that you are registered in the right place, and establish where your voting station will be. If you need help with registration, the DA has set up a dedicated hotline to assist all voters.

Our hotline number is 0861 CALL DA (0861 225 532).

Voting is your democratic right. It is your opportunity to change our country for the better. Ward by ward, as proved by our recent by-election victories, the DA is showing that where we govern, we deliver better services for everyone.

In a democracy, people get the government they deserve. It starts with registering to vote in elections.
