Pray, Register To Vote And Vote - Churches

Churches under the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) are urging eligible citizens to register to vote in the upcoming general elections.

The churches have incorporated the “Pray, Register to vote and Vote” theme into their main Sunday programmes.

ZCC general secretary Wilfred Bimingo told NewsDay that Christians should understand that voting is a God-given right. Said Bimingo:

Previous elections in the country have been violent and it had distanced the people of Zimbabwe, including Christians, from the electoral process.

We launched this campaign to educate and encourage people to vote, especially in the upcoming elections.

It does not focus on registration alone but on all other electoral processes. We are targeting young people.

People should exercise the democratic right to vote, which also is a right given by God.

We have seen an improvement in the participation of Christians in electoral processes following the launch of this campaign.

According to ZEC, 5 804 975 people were on the 2023 voters’ roll as of April 2022, against an eligible voter population of 8 738 628.

ZEC is set to conduct its last voter registration blitz that will run from 12 to 21 March 2023.
