LGE Election Day, 4 November 2026

Statement by Ashor Sarupen – DA National Campaign Manager:

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is ready for the march to Election Day, for the upcoming Local Government Election, which will be on 04 November 2026.

On this day, South Africans will have the power to vote for a local government that will get their municipality working. This local government election is make-or-break for many small towns, municipalities and metros – and only voters can decide if their towns or cities fail or succeed.

The DA has been hard at work preparing for this Election, engaging voters in all communities, and preparing for our largest-ever campaign. Now, all South Africans who can take up the power of their vote on Election Day, must ensure that they are correctly registered to vote.

The voter registration weekend on 20 & 21 June 2026 is a critical opportunity for every South African to check and confirm their voter registration. As this will be a Local Government Election, voting will ONLY be possible at a voter’s registered voting station. So, correct registration is essential.

In this Election, on 04 November, the DA is targeting municipalities across South Africa, in every Province where support levels show that we can win.

The DA has been first out of the blocks to present to South Africa a field of Mayoral Candidates who have been selected through a rigorous process, to ensure the highest calibre. And many more DA Mayoral Candidates are set to be announced.

Our campaign has already directly engaged and interacted with over 2.5 million voters, and in the coming weeks and months, millions more will meet the DA face-to-face as we ramp up our campaign.

The urgency of getting towns and cities working is immense, and that is why this Local Government Election is so important for South Africa.
