The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) all but admitted that Voter’s Rolls used in previous elections were flawed and allowed rigging to take place. Zec Commissioner, Qhubani Moyo acknowledged that the previous Voter’s Rolls were not credible as they allowed unmanned parties to benefit from “ghost voters,” i.e. when politic parties inflate their vote count by including numbers from people who are already deceased or non-existent. He also admitted that in the past there had been instances of people voting multiple times.
Said Qhubani Moyo
This time we won’t allow dead people to vote or voters to vote many times
The Biometric Voter Registration is expected to produce a more credible Voter’s Roll which is not easily compromised. Moyo also urged citizens to trust the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission saying
If you dont trust us, then l don’t know whom you are going to trust.
