Lupane villagers decry long distances to voter registration centres

VILLAGERS in Lupane district, Matabeleland North province, have called on authorities to set up more voter registration centres as they have to walk long distances of up to 30km to the nearest centre.

Resultantly, most of the villagers abandon the idea of getting registered to exercise their right to vote.

“We do want to vote, but we are limited by the distances we have to travel to register because some people stay 100km away from the centre.
