Electoral watchdog, the Zimbabwe Elections Support Network (Zesn) has said that according to its audit of the voter’s roll, at least 2 676 395, which translates to 45 per cent of the people on the 2013 voters’ roll do not appear on the current voters’ roll. In its findings, Zesn said,
Overall, Zesn finds that the 2018 voters’ roll received on June 18 is an improvement over the 2013 preliminary voters’ roll. 2 676 395 (45%) registrants on the 2013 preliminary voters’ roll could not be matched by national ID number to the 2018 voters’ roll and, therefore, are likely to no longer be registered. Over 2 470 156 (43%) of registrants on the 2018 voters’ roll are likely to be first-time registrants as their ID numbers are not included in the 2013 voters’ roll.
…263 998 (5%) of registrants registered at addresses for which there are registrants are assigned to different wards. All registrants with the same address should be assigned to the same ward.
