The Electoral Commission today began sending text messages (SMS) to approximately 5.3 million registered voters for whom no address details are currently available on the voters’ roll as part efforts to update and enhance the voters’ roll ahead of 2016 Municipal Elections. The initiative follows the Constitutional Court ruling in November last year in the Tlokwe matter that a voter’s address or sufficient particularities of their place of residence were essential to ensure that the voter is registered in the correct voting district.
