Government has released US$11 million to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission for special voting set for July 14 and 15.
Special voting, done at least 16 days before the ordinary polling day, allows people who will be on elections duty to cast their ballot in advance.
These include members of the uniformed forces and election officials and it is also done almost at the same time with postal voting which caters for persons outside the country on Government business.
Addressing journalists in Harare on Monday morning, Zec chairperson Justice Rita Makarau also said the 30 day voter registration and voters roll inspection that started last month ends tomorrow.
"The voters roll closes on Wednesday and any persons who register after that will not be able to elect incoming candidates at all levels. They will remain on the voters roll but for future purposes," she said.
