The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (Zec) have threatened to sue the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission for setting up a polling station that is against the law. Zec was given until the end of business today (Tuesday) to rectify the issue or face legal action. An excerpt of the letter written to Zec reads,
In our pursuit to advance the rule of law, we have established that there is a polling station that has been set up at the Presidential Guard army barracks in Dzivarasekwa Extension, Dzivarasekwa constituency.
The polling station is identified as the Presidential Guard tent on the voters’ roll. After perusing the voters’ roll we have established that at least 1 635 voters have been registered to vote at the polling station.
Section 51 (1a) and (1b) of the Electoral Act provides that a polling station must be accessible to the public, including people with disabilities and that “no polling station shall be established at a police station, barrack, cantonment area or other place where police officers or members of the defence forces are permanently stationed”.

zec is doing its duty and i dont think that it is an impact for it to decide what is possible for the smooth peace operation of the electoral processes
its clear that all opposition parties in line with the stake holders that hates ZANU PF would like to create a bad situation about the election yet we have the peace we want in election.
zec is doing well but opposition is feeling nervous because its obvious the victory Zanu Pf is from the majority in zimbzbwe
unotonzwa munhu achiti heee nyika ino hee chi chi kudii kwacho hamuni a great change this government
gore rino tichaonerera
hahahahaha chamisa is not sleeping. he is at work trying all he can to turn zec upside down and not focusing on then election itself
victory is certain for ED. keep diverting your attention from the election chamisa and hand over the victory to Mnangagwa
if all is well then why tormenting zec
chamisa and biti are trying by all means to tarnish the image of zecso that people will lack trust in it yet it is doing the best out o
this is the duty of the observers. why are you wasting time doing other people’s jobs? these people are being led by chamisa and tendai biti
make reforms, make changes, make amendments and pave way for chamisa’s victory
zec will never stop to do its work unless yatotadza basa ndipo pangati yakundikana not now
im enjoying ED’s silence in all these stories. he is a well refined, mature politician . i love my president
it is chamisa and his friend’s will to distort the image of zec so that it will lose its capacity to work properly in order for them to archive what they want
they are already in panic because they are aware that victory is not on there side
since the days are number the big boss will be seen at the end
haa nyaya dzaana zec idzi dzaakutinetsa idzi tamirira maelections isu
but this time around zec has improved a lot because no much hustles are affecting the electoral process i dont know what wrong now concerning the above issue
