PRC spokesperson Gift Nyandoro said their coalition decided to deal with people who violate the Electoral Act, as they deliberated on the coalition’s state of preparedness for this year’s elections.

“The leadership resolved to do a citizen’s arrest or to timeously take lawful measures necessary against any person seen demanding or recording serial numbers of voter registration slips, for such conduct amounts to violation of the Electoral Act,” Nyandoro said.
