*General elections will be held in South Africa in 2019 to elect a
new National Assembly and new provincial legislatures in each

10

province. This will be the sixth election held since the end of
the apartheid system in 1994. This election will determine who will
become the next President of South Africa.
*January 26 - 27 
These are probably the most important dates to mark on your
calendar because they present voters with the final chance to
register to participate in the elections.
The IEC is calling on the public to use the last weekend of January to
check their registration status at the nearest voting station.
