The commission’s provincial Electoral Officer Ntombifuthi Masinga has this message for eligible voters, “We are encouraging all KwaZulu-natal voters that to make it to the voting stations or visit our online platform because this is the final opportunity for them to get themselves on the voters’ roll and make sure that they appear on the correct segment of the voters’ roll so that they are not disappointed on election day and showing up only to find that their voting station has changed. So by providing an address, you are making sure that you will appear on the correct segment of the voters’ roll.”
