75 000 applications for special votes approved so far─── 16:10 Wed, 16 Apr 2014
Johannesburg - The Electoral Commission of SA says just over 75,000 applications for special votes have been approved so far.
Tomorrow is the deadline for applications for special votes in this year's national and provincial elections. The IEC says in a statement there are two categories of special votes -- home visits and special voting at a registered voting station.
For a home visit election officials will visit voters who had successfully applied due to physical infirmity, disability, or pregnancy.
These visits will be conducted on May 5 and 6. Special voting at a registered voting station is for people who would not be in their voting district on election day. This voting will also take place on May 5 and 6 between 9am and 5pm.
