South Africans who are unable to cast their votes on November 1 – the day of the municipal elections – have been urged to apply for special voting.

The Electoral Commission says it applies to voters who can’t make it to their voting station on the day or those who cannot travel to these stations because of physical infirmity or disability. The latter will be visited at home prior to election day on October 30th and 31st.

The IEC’s Chief Electoral Officer Sy Mamabolo has appealed to those on duty on election day such as police officers, nurses, doctors and members of the media to apply for special voting.

Applications for special votes closes at 5pm on October 4th.
