Here, you will need to enter your 13-digit South African ID number to confirm your registration details, including your registered voting station and ward.
SMS Service
Another convenient method is to use the IEC’s SMS service. By sending your ID number to 32810 (R1.00 per SMS), you will receive a response with your registration status and details of your designated voting station.
Call Centre
You can also call the IEC’s toll-free call centre at 0800 11 8000 for assistance. This service is particularly useful if you prefer speaking directly to an IEC representative to verify your details or ask any additional questions about the voting process.
IEC Mobile App
The IEC South Africa mobile application is available for download on smartphones. This app provides a user-friendly interface to check your voter registration status, find your voting station, and access other election-related information.
Physical Verification
