Date: May 14, 2024

South Africa's Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) says it is ready to ensure that voting goes smoothly in the one hundred and eleven foreign missions.

The commitment comes as South Africans living abroad, are scheduled to kick off the voting process of the 2024 national and provincial elections this Friday and Saturday.

IEC Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo, says "all missions have already received the election materials, which include ballot papers, voting booths, ballot boxes, envelopes and a voters list.

“Voting stations will open from 07h00 to 19h00 (CAT) allowing 76 580 voters to exercise their right to vote in South Africa's 2024 National elections."

On both voting days abroad, the Electoral Commission says it will keep extended hours to assist voters with any enquires.
