South African Expat Voting Information

South African citizens that live outside of the Republic and wish to vote at next month’s national election should do the following.

• See if you are registered. The deadline for registration has already closed; however, if you voted at the previous election it is most likely that you are automatically registered for this election. At least that is the case with me.

• Notify the IEC that you intend to vote before 27 March 2009. You’ll need to fill out a VEC 10 form and email, post or fax it to the Chief Electorial Officer.

Email notifications to: vec10 @ elections.org.za

Post notifications to:

P O Box 7943,

Fax notifications to:

• The Chief Electorial Officier will check that you are indeed registered and will inform the foreign mission (i.e. South African Embassy) of your intention to vote.

• Go to the foreign mission on April 15th, and take both your bar coded ID-book, as well as your passport with you.
