Registration for the 2019 national elections

The 2019 national elections are coming up. The first voter registration weekend for the 2019 elections will be later this year. In the meantime, you can use the app at https://check.da.org.za to check to see whether you are correctly registered on the voters’ roll.

Whilst we wait for the dates of the next voter registration weekend to be announced, you can change your address online by visiting https://www.elections.org.za/MyIEC/Account/Register. First-time registration can only take place at your local IEC office or over the next registration weekend.
