5,5m registered to vote, voter registration to resume

Harare Bureau

ZIMBABWE has slightly over 5,5 million registered voters, with the number expected to increase when mobile voter registration begins on 3 January.

Mobile voter registration would  be done ahead of harmonised elections expected in March next year.

Although Registrar General Mr Tobaiwa Mudede could not be drawn to comment on the figures yesterday, he said as at November, registered voters were 5 589 355.

The number is lower than those who registered to vote in the 2008 polls by nearly 300 000.

There were 5 612 464 registered voters by December 2007, but the number rose to 5 934 768 by February the following year following a mobile voter registration campaign.

February was the cut-off date for new registrations for the 2008 elections.

The fall in the number of registered voters could be a result of deaths.
