THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has asked political parties that intend to participate in the harmonised general elections in August to provide a list of designated office-bearers.
The request was done in terms of Section 38A of the Electoral Act (Chapter 2:13).
In a statement, ZEC chief elections officer Mr Utloile Silaigwana said: “The political parties who intend to field candidates in the 2023 harmonised general elections are hereby notified in terms of Section 38A of the Electoral Act (Chapter 2:13) to expeditiously provide the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission with the names of at least three national office-bearers of the party, through the head office of the commission, any two of whom will be authorised to make countersignature required to be made for the purposes of Part XIA and Section 46 in any province in which the political party is contesting the election,” reads part of the statement.
ZEC also said political parties should provide the names of at least three provincial office-bearers to the provincial elections officer in that province, any two who will be authorised to make any countersignature required to be made for the purposes of Section 46 for the nomination of candidates for election as councillors in any ward in that province.
