ZEC urges all turned away voters to go back and vote

Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Chairperson Justice Rita Makarau says voter turnout throughout the country is high as Zimbabweans cast their ballots in the harmonised election.

Speaking in a live broadcast from the National Command Centre, Justice Makarau said the commission has instructed all polling stations to ensure that everyone is served before seven this evening.

Justice Makarau said the commission has received reports of people being turned away because their names do not appear on the voters roll, even though they have registration slips.

She said poling stations have been instructed to record the affected people on a separate report and urged all those affected to go back to their constituencies and vote at any polling station.
