Zec voter registration raises dust

THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) is conducting a clandestine voter registration blitz targeting rural areas, where the ruling Zanu PF party has traditionally had a strong voter base, NewsDay can report.

Critics view the registration blitz as an attempt to consolidate the party’s dominance in these regions ahead of future elections.

Witnesses in several communities have reported seeing Zec officials conducting voter registration, but without making the usual public announcements that typically accompany such exercises.
