The world's eyes are on Zimbabwe as the country heads to the polls for the seventh elections since independence in 1980. And for the first time its conducting presidential, parliamentary and civic polls at once.
Political parties spent the last few hours courting ... the hearts and minds of millions of voters. With less than 24 hours to go, the MDC was also out campaigning. The party insists that the playing field isn't even, claiming widespread irregularities.
Independent candidate Simba Makoni was also out doing some last minute wooing. Meanwhile, the security chiefs warn that they are on full alert, and ready to confront any violence during or after this crucial ballot.
