Johannesburg - Certain prisoners are eligible to vote and will be registered during a special IEC campaign this week, a correctional services spokesperson said on Tuesday.
Victor Monyemangene said the selected prisoners - those awaiting trial, and those serving a sentence with an option of a fine - would be allowed to register if they had a bar-coded ID book.
He said the department would also be conducting voter education before the end of February.
