ZEC Launches Second Phase Of Voter Registration

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) yesterday launched the second phase of its mobile voter registration exercise after the first outreach in February.

ZEC registered 81,742 new voters in the first exercise which ran between February 1 and 28.

The latest campaign, which has fewer registration centres, will end on April 30.

In a statement on Sunday, ZEC said centres would open from 7AM until 5.30PM.

Masvingo province will have the most registration centres, 276 in total, while Bulawayo has the least – 81.

Prospective voters must be 18 or over. They are required to carry proof of identity – an ID card or passport – as well as proof of residence, in the absence of which they would be required to fill out an affidavit.

The latest phase of the mobile voter registration exercise coincides with a similar exercise being carried out by the Civil Registry Department to issue out IDs.
