Where to register to vote as a resident of Lonehill….
Residents living in the area demarcated on the map below are required to register at St. Peters Preparatory Voting Station (previously at the Guide Dogs Association) on Witkoppen Road. I know that many of Fleetwood residents have registered at Crawford College, but please note that this is incorrect and given the recent ConCourt judgement, it may happen that voters are required to provide proof of residence, in which case being registered in the wrong ward, may disqualify you from voting.
How to check your registration status:
1. SMS your ID number to 32810.
•This is the IEC’s registration checking service.
•You will receive an sms back to tell you where you are currently registered to vote.
•You can also do this online here.
2. Check where you should be voting (based on where you live) using either:
•DA’s Voting Station Finder (me.da.org.za)
•IEC’s Voting Station Finder (maps.elections.org.za/vsfinder/)
•This will tell you where you should be voting, based on where you live.
•It is important to be registered where you stay, as problems with this is causing the delay in elections.
3. Re-register if you are not currently registered where you should be:
•Go to the voting station located as per point 2 above.
•On Saturday 5th of March or Sunday 6th of March.
•Anytime from 08:00 to 17:00.
•Bring your ID book (or ID Smart Card)
•It takes about 5 minutes normally.
