Zanu PF to start membership registration that captures bio data

The ruling Zanu PF is reported to be planning to start a membership registration process which captures the bio data of more than three million
eligible voters among its supporters nationwide using the same system that Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) will use for its biometric voting
system.

Reports say Zanu PF will take that data and give it to Zec to put on the voters roll.

It is said when Zec begins its voter registration process, the system will make sure that potential voters in opposition strongholds such as urban
centres wont register; a repeat of the pre-July 2013 election voter registration fiasco.

Political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya said with these 3-million voters Zanu PF working in collusion with Zec  intends to floor the opposition technically
in 2018.

"The menu of manipulation in progress, (Andreas Schedler, 2006,Electoral Authoritarianism:The Dynamics of Unfree Competition)," he said.
