All Home Affairs offices across the country will be open tomorrow, Wednesday 07 May 2014, to assist citizens with the necessary enabling documents for purposes of voting.  In this regard, Home Affairs offices will be open from 07h00-21h00 in line with voting hours declared by the IEC.

Home Affairs calls those citizens who may require such enabling documents as temporary identity certificates or those who may wish to collect their uncollected green bar coded IDs and smart ID cards to approach any of our offices across the country for assistance.

As part of preparations for delivering services ahead of the voting day, Home Affairs offices across the country are also open today Tuesday 6 May 2014 until 19h30 for citizens to access services that they may require for purposes of voting.

Home Affairs reminds citizens of the declaration by President Jacob Zuma of Wednesday, 07 May 2014 as a national holiday to allow citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote.

All Home Affairs officials who will be working on Wednesday 07 May 2014 have been afforded an opportunity alongside all other essential services to cast special votes across the country to enable them to serve the citizenry to the best of their ability on voting day.
