The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) has distanced itself from a widely circulated message claiming that the commission has granted permission for everyone over the age of 60 to cast a special vote on 27th and 28th of May at the polling station where they are registered.
The Commission says the message does not come from them. The Electoral Commission says the general principle of election administration is that voters must vote where they are registered.
However, in the event a voter intends to be in a different voting district on voting day, they must notify the Commission of their intended absence from their voting district and must identify the voting station where they wish to cast the vote.
