THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) says it is happy with the manner the current voters’ roll inspection programme is going on in Manicaland and has urged those with grievances to visit inspection centres in the remaining days.
The programme started on May 19 and ends today. Provincial chief elections officer Mr Moffat Masabeya said the programme was going on well.
Everything is progressing well and we have recruited some voter educators, inspection officers and supervisors who are already on the field, he said.
Those who have not yet registered should do so. We have also noted that a lot of people have received some SMS on their mobile phones and once they are satisfied, they are not visiting our centres, he said.
Mr Masabeya said people whose names were appearing in areas they feel uncomfortable voting have an opportunity to transfer to their places of choice.
People can also take advantage of the window period to do the transfers.
People can actually transfer their names to a place of their choice if they feel their names were placed in a wrong areas.
There is also room for re-registering as the inspection process is meant to iron out mistakes and add information which might have been omitted during the initial registration process, he said.
Mr Masabeya said ZEC was working with other civil society groups on voter education.
“There are some various civil organisations that are also on the ground providing voter education to the people.
“But in a nutshell, I can say we are happy with the manner in which the programme is progressing across the province,” he said.
