Zimbabwe’s voters' roll not perfect: ZEC

Zimbabwe candidates

Zimbabweans go to the polls on Saturday

Antoinette Lazarus: Harare
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairperson George Chiweshe has admitted that the voters roll is not perfect but maintains it's credible.

He was responding to the question of registered ghost voters on the voters roll at a media and observer mission briefing on the eve of the country's elections tomorrow.

Chiweshe says voters' rolls around the world are not perfect. He says in the case of deaths, the ZEC is unable to remove the persons name from the roll unless they are officially notified.

"If you have a complaint about the voters roll you must come to us with the information or documentation and we’ll correct it," Chiweshe said.

Voters have been urged to cast their ballots early to avoid the last minute rush. The polling booths open at 7am tomorrow and close at 7pm.
