Zec taken to task over 'missing' voters' roll

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) and Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede yesterday failed to explain why an electronic voters' roll has not been availed to political parties.

There are growing concerns that tomorrow's elections could be disputed because of several electoral flaws, such as the unavailability of the voter's roll and apparent lack of preparedness on the part of Zec, which analysts fear may breed poll chaos.

Asked why it was difficult for Zec and RG's Office to dispatch the voters roll, Zec commissioner Bessie Fadzai Nhandara told journalists that the question should be directed to Mudede.

The Zec boss said political party campaigns should stop by 6:59am today and promised that copies of voter's rolls would be at all constituencies for inspection.
