“What’s the point of voting if my vote will not make a difference?” Your vote will always matter. Your local municipality is there to make sure that the community has basic services. Your local municipality is also responsible for the wellbeing of your community. So vote and take part in deciding who might best serve your community in the municipality. Your X will leave a mark
DID YOU KNOW? You can’t take photos behind the voting booth or of your ballot paper! But you can take a selfie once you’re outside the voting station.This is to protect the secrecy of your ballot and that of others.
Remember to mask up and bring your Identity Document.
