Special votes to take place Monday, Tuesday

JOHANNESBURG - Special Voters get their chance to make their mark Monday and Tuesday.

The IEC will give an update on its state of readiness to capture these votes later Sunday.

The Commission has approved over 1,6 million special vote applications.

Of these, over 600,000 voters will be visited at their homes or places of confinement.

The rest will vote at voting stations where they are registered.

Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal are the provinces with the most approved special votes.  

The Northern Cape had the lowest number of applicants.

After voting, the ballots will be transported through a secure channel back to the IEC's ROC for counting.
