‘Fake IDs surface in voters roll’

STATISTICIANS Team Pachedu, which has been auditing the voters roll ahead of the 2023 polls, has raised concern over fake identity cards (IDs) that have been included in the voters roll.

In a series of tweets, Team Pachedu said an analysis of the 2008, 2018 and 2022 voters rolls revealed the existence of thousands of fake ID numbers, which could compromise the credibility of elections.

It alleged that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) was bloating the voters roll ahead of next year’s polls.
