The IEC says the closing date to apply for special votes is 3 May.
Chief Electoral Officer Sy Mamabolo held a briefing on readiness for the 2024 elections on Monday.

"The law assumes that they will be voting at the diplomatic mission of registration. However, those registered elsewhere, including locally registered voters who intend to vote at a particular diplomatic mission outside of the country, must give notice to the CEO of the intention to vote in that country. The notice to vote out of the country may be submitted as of today until the 22nd of April."
