3 hrs agoAs South Africa gears up for the 2026 local government elections, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is urging citizens not to underestimate the power of their vote, especially as candidate nominations near their July deadline. More than 100 000 hopefuls are expected to contest roughly 9 600 council seats nationwide, underscoring the scale of the democratic process about to unfold.
At the official logo launch in Midrand, IEC Chairperson Mosotho Moepya highlighted elections as a defining moment where every citizen, regardless of status, stands on equal footing. He reminded South Africans that participating in elections is not just a right but a civic duty — a chance to shape the future of communities and the nation. Choosing not to vote, he warned, means relinquishing one’s voice at a crucial time.
With preparations intensifying, the IEC’s message is clear: democracy thrives when people show up. The commission’s push for robust voter engagement comes amid broader efforts including nationwide registration initiatives and outreach campaigns designed to make participation easier and more inclusive.
