Voting for Expats
For the (hopefully) very few who haven’t heard yet, South Africans who are not living at home but who are registered to vote have been given the right to do so from the country they are based in.
There are two important facts here – one is that you need to have this sorted out by March 27. The second is that you need to know that voting happens the week before it happens at home – so the 15th of April.
In order to ensure that you are allowed to vote, you need to download this form http://www.elections.org.za/Documents/Voting2009/VEC10%20absence%20from%20the%20Republic1.pdf and make sure that you have faxed it off to +2712 428 5566 or +2712 428 5279 by March 27th.
Calling them to ensure that they have received your application is probably worth your while to ensure that you don’t arrive on the 15th and get turned away.
Happy Voting!
