The Democratic Alliance (DA) has launched its 2024 voter registration campaign ahead of next year’s national and provincial government elections, with the first wave of the party’s registration posters under the slogan ‘Register to Rescue South Africa’.

The DA has warned that the African National Congress (ANC) will remain in power if opposition voters do not register to vote. The party also noted that about 14-million South Africans are not registered to vote.

The party remains hopeful of its chances of winning at next year’s elections given the results of the 2021 local government elections, where the ANC’s support dropped to 46% – losing its national majority for the first time.
