Parliament has urged South Africans to participate in the 2026 Local Government Elections on Wednesday, 4 November, saying voting is key to determining who represents communities and oversees municipal service delivery.
National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza and NCOP Chairperson Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane encouraged voters to familiarise themselves with the candidates and political parties before making informed choices.
They also reminded residents that their democratic responsibility does not end at the ballot box, urging communities to engage councillors, participate in municipal planning and budgeting, and hold elected representatives accountable.
Young and first-time voters were particularly encouraged to participate peacefully and responsibly.
