Unavailability Of Ballot Papers Mar Zimbabwe's General Elections

Several polling stations in Harare opened just before the official closing time, while some of the centres which opened late did so well after 7 PM.

In the run-up to the polls, the Zimbabwe Electoral Authority (ZEC) announced that polling stations will be open from 7 AM to 7 PM.

However, on Wednesday morning, ZEC said that voting hours will be extended at some polling stations due to delays in the opening of polls. Below are some of the polling stations in Harare and other places that opened late:

  • At Warren Park 2 High School, voting started around 3 PM but then local authority ballot papers ran out.
  • Voting started around 5 PM at Mwacheta Primary School in the Mutema-Musikavanhu constituency due to a shortage of voting material, according to the ZEC presiding officer.
  • Voting in Budiriro, Ward 33, voting reportedly commenced around 6.40 PM.
  • At Glen Norah (Chitubu) Ward 28, voting was yet to start well after 7 PM.
  • At Kuwadzana 3 Primary School, voting was halted in the afternoon after ballot papers ran out. Voting resumed at 7 PM.
  • There was still no voting at Warren Park 6 Primary School at 7 PM since morning.
  • Voting started around 8 PM at Cold Comfort.
  • At Warren Park 4 polling station in Harare, voting started around 8 PM, an hour after polls were supposed to have closed.
  • At Budiriro 3 Primary where voting started at 6.40 PM: voters were told around 8.30 PM that ballot papers had run out again. They were told to wait.
  • In Nyanyadzi, suspected Forever Associate Zimbabwe (FAZ) members were reportedly interviewing voters right outside polling stations and collecting their ID numbers.

Posting on X at 7.55 PM, former Harare East MP, Tendai Biti, said there has been no voting in Ward 16 Osborne Dam, Ward 19 Honde Valley, Ward 17 Watsomba area, Ward 29 Pafiwa, and Old Murapa area.
