ActionSA leader says to remove the ANC over 14m currently unregistered voters need to be registered

Over 1000 first-time voters registered at launch of No Vote, No Voice, No Change registration campaign

ActionSA canvassed and registered over 1000 first-time voters at the launch of our #RegisterToFixSA’s campaign in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, today as we embark on registering thousands of new voters in the run-up to the registration weekend on the 18th of November.

To remove the ruling party, and fix South Africa, ActionSA knows that the over 14 million currently unregistered voters need to be registered and motivated to vote in the 2024 elections. No Vote, No Voice, No Change.

Only 10 million people voted for the ruling party in the 2019 elections, and therefore 14 million new voters will easily remove the ruling party and start the process to fix the country and restore it to a path of prosperity.

ActionSA has therefore launched a countrywide campaign to register new voters ahead of next year's elections, with our very first registration campaign taking place in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, today.

Over the past two years, ActionSA has focussed on building branches in all nine provinces of the country. Teams of volunteers from these branches have canvassed their communities and identified 150,000 South Africans who need to register before they can cast their vote in next year’s elections.

Of particular interest is the fact that over 20% of ActionSA’s 250,000 members are unregistered and prospective first-time voters in 2024. This significant large portion of our member base reveals the extent to which ActionSA is attracting the support of South Africans who would otherwise not vote.

ActionSA will work tirelessly over the coming weeks and over the 18 & 19 November registration weekend to ensure that every South African who seeks change for their country can walk into a voting station next year, receive a ballot paper and enter a booth to start the change to Fix South Africa.
