Judgment Day is almost upon us – and the politicians who have been desperately trying to secure our votes for the 2021 Local Elections will soon have to play the waiting game: The results are set to trickle in from Tuesday morning onwards, but throughout Monday 1 November, people will be rushing to the polls to fill in their ballot papers.
Now, Local Elections work a little differently from General Elections. On this occasion, there are more bits of paper to deal with, and it’s not just a case of putting one mark in one box. The voting process is simple, but you still have to engage your brain just by a smidge – even though it’s your day off – when you rock up to a polling booth tomorrow.
We hope you’re all able to get out as early as you can, register your vote freely, and enjoy the rest of your day. But, just to make sure nothing throws you tomorrow, here’s what you can expect from the ballot papers:
But wait, there’s more: For those of you who want to familiarise yourself even further with the ballot papers you’ll be putting your ‘X’ on tomorrow, the IEC has produced sample sheets for every ward and district in South Africa. You just simply search for your suburb, fill in a few drop-boxes, and sure enough, a full list of candidates and parties will appear!
On #LGE2021 voting day you will receive two or three ballots.
