SA’s sixth democratic national and provincial elections will be held on May 8. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the date during his State of the Nation Address yesterday.

“I have engaged with the Independen­t Electoral Commission and premiers of all provinces, and intend to proclaim the 8th of May 2019 as the date of the election,” Ramaphosa said.

“We wish to remind all eligible South Africans who have not yet registered as voters that they still have until the proclamati­on of the election date to register.”
