It is “Now or Never” for Voter Registration, as we approach the last hours of Registration Weekend.
The DA’s call is simply this: “Go out now before polling stations close, to ensure that you are correctly registered. To make your vote count on Election Day you must be correctly registered in the next few hours. If you miss the boat, you can’t vote.”
Already turnout for this weekend’s voter registration weekend, has been very pleasing for the DA. We are very encouraged that DA voters are coming out in their numbers to register and re-register across South Africa, especially young DA supporters.
In contrast, an enormous stay-away of ANC voters is being seen across numerous provinces, and in ANC-governed areas where service delivery has collapsed, our monitoring shows that ANC voters are not coming out to register and re-register. This apathy can be attributed to the lack of confidence in the ANC.
Our voters are also enthused to come out to register, to vote DA, so that they can be part of stopping the rise of the EFF. The violence and chaos of the EFF is a compelling reason to be prepared to vote for a party that can both beat the ANC and is the only bulwark against the EFF.
The DA urges all South Africans to check their voter registration status today, before it is too late.
The DA is ready for this year’s Election – the first time ever that the DA has a candidate in every single ward in South Africa. Our national footprint as the only party with a candidate in every ward, makes the DA the only party able to beat the ANC.
Voters can and should be animated by the DA’s offer and a record of governance that delivers. The DA gets things done, and this weekend DA voters are getting their voter registrations done. We are grateful for this enthusiasm.
It is “Now or Never.”
