In the framework of the ongoing project, aimed at the systematical studyinggalaxies in nearby voids, we conducted spectroscopy with the Southern AfricanLarge Telescope (SALT) of 62 objects from the Nearby Void Galaxy (NVG) sample.They include 8 remaining objects of the 60 preselected candidates to eXtremelyMetal-Poor (XMP) dwarfs, two known void XMP dwarfs and 52 void dwarfs residingwithin the Local Volume. For 47 galaxies residing in the nearby voids, weobtained spectra of the diverse quality. For 42 of them, we detected theHydrogen and Oxygen lines that allowed us to get estimates of O/H in theobserved HII regions. For 12 of the 42 objects, we detected the faint line[Oiii]4363, that allowed us to directly derive the electron temperature T_e andobtain their gas O/H by the direct method. 14 objects with the undetected[Oiii]4363 line fall to the lowest metallicities range (12+log(O/H) < 7.5 dex).For them, we use a carefully checked new empirical 'Strong line' method ofIzotov et al. For 14 other objects with only strong lines detected and with12+log(O/H) of ~7.5-8.0 dex, we used the modified version of 'semi-empirical'method of Izotov and Thuan. It accounts for effect of the excitation parameterO32 on T_e. 16 new galaxies are found with parameter 12+log(O/H) < 7.39 dex. Ofthem, four have 12+log(O/H) = 7.07 - 7.20 dex. Of the 60 observed NVG objects,15 have mistaken radial velocities in HyperLEDA. They do not reside in thenearby voids.
