HERE are some important points when you head for the polls tomorrow.
• The voters’ roll for the 2014 general elections on 7 May is closed. It is too late to register for these elections now.
• You can vote at any voting station in South Africa, but if you are voting at a station other than where you are registered you will have to provide proof of registration (registration sticker in your ID). If you are voting outside of the province where you are registered, you will also only qualify for the national ballot.
• The only valid ID documents for voting are the green, bar-coded ID book; smart card ID; or valid temporary ID certificate.
• Voting stations will open 7am to 9pm on 7 May Election Day.
* Number of parties contesting elections: 29 parties appear on the national ballot, and 45 parties in total appear on the national and provincial ballots. Not all parties are represented nationally or in all provinces.
