Police have identified KZN and North West as the highest risks for violence during next week's general elections.

Meanwhile, to ensure access to the correct documentation, the department of home affairs will extend operational hours at front offices from May 6 to May 8 in a drive to help eligible voters collect IDs they had applied for, or to apply for new IDs or temporary IDs.

The front offices of the department of home affairs will also align its operational hours for identification services to those of the IEC, meaning the operational hours will be extended from 4pm to 7pm to cater for people seeking access to services on these two special voting days. Home affairs frontline offices will also provide public services on election day, from 7am until 9pm.

The department noted that by the end of March 2019, there were 358,877 uncollected smart ID cards and green ID books – with 355,257 of those uncollected documents being the smart ID cards. Gauteng has the most uncollected smart ID cards at 101,787, followed by KZN with 55,634 uncollected smart cards, and the Eastern Cape with 46,504. The Northern Cape has the lowest with only 12,255 waiting to be collected.
