Speaker and hon Deputy President, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that today, 3 May 2011, is the last day for persons requiring to cast special votes on 16 and 17 May to register with the IEC so that they can participate in the forthcoming local government elections;
2) further notes that special votes are provided for people who for various reasons will not be able to cast their votes on 18 May, particularly people with disabilities;
3) believes that voting for local government is also important for people with disabilities as it provides them an opportunity to express their faith in a political party of their choice that will respond to their needs; and
4) calls upon all people who qualify for special votes to take this opportunity to register today before 5pm, as there is no extension thereafter.
Agreed to.
