President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared 1 November as a public holiday to give South African citizens an opportunity to make their mark with the upcoming Local Government Elections.
Eligible voters will cast their vote on this
day for councillors who will represent them at local level.
“The President calls on all registered voters
to use the opportunity of the public holiday to exercise their democratic right
and civic duty by voting in this election that empowers citizens to elect new
leadership and influence service delivery where they live,” the Presidency
said.
The Presidency reminded all voters heading to
polling stations to adhere to COVID-19 regulations and encouraged employers to
make provisions for their workers to “to exercise their constitutional right to
vote”.
“Voters are reminded as well that they will
only be able to cast their votes at the polling stations in wards where they
are registered. In the event that voters may consider travel, they will not be
able to transfer their votes to voting stations away from their designated
wards.”
