According to the IEC, candidates will be issued with their certificates on Tuesday, April 7th.

The IEC also announced that South Africans who are not in the country and who failed to send the IEC their VEC10 notification form, will not be able to vote in the elections as the deadline has closed for submissions.

However, those that have already applied for special vote in the upcoming 2009 national and provincial elections and are registered voters will be able to cast their ballots before the Election Day.

According to Tlakula South Africans who qualify for a special vote includes people with physical infirmity, disability and pregnancy.
