THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has expressed concern over the state of the voters' roll and urged all registered voters to help clean it up during the 30-day voter registration and inspection exercise.
Addressing the media in Harare yesterday, ZEC chairperson Justice Rita Makarau pledged to correct the anomalies if voters come forward with information.
"The Commission is concerned that the voters roll may not be in the shape that it ought to be before the harmonised elections.
In particular, the commission is concerned that people who lawfully registered as voters in a particular ward may have found their names removed from the roll of that ward without their knowledge," she said.
Added Justice Makarau: "It is the basis of this grave concern that ZEC is calling upon each and every one of the registered voters to inspect the voters roll during the 30-day voter registration exercise and bring to our attention any anomalies that they may pick up regarding their registration."
