IEC geared up for "massive voter turnout"


 The Independent Electoral Commission says its determined to attain record voter turnout in next year's elections.

Chairperson, Pansy Tlakula said at the 2014 elections media launch in Midrand on Wednesday, that the IEC was preparing itself for an exceptionally high voter turnout.

Tlakula said voter registration needed to be embraced by political parties, organised labour, organised business, faith-based organisations, and civil society.

She said the IEC had started consulting with the relevant parties in this regard.

Tlakula announced that registration for next year's elections would take place on the 9th and 10th of November, and that all voting stations in the country will be open for the purpose of voter registration from 8am.

She called on young people, especially those who were voting for the first time, to register.
