Polling station located at a homestead belonging to Zanu PF official

National Electoral Reforms Agenda (NERA) says it has discovered that a polling station will be located at a homestead belonging to a Zanu PF official in Mashonaland East Province.

This comes after NERA is carrying a verifying exercise of all the polling stations listed by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) mapping exercise which listed specific polling stations for each province in the country and are expected to be used in the 2018 general elections. In a statement, NERA said it was going to meet with ZEC officials in the province to get a briefing and clarifications with regards to the location of the polling station.

ZEC chairperson Rita Makarau last week told the media that polling stations used in the 2013 elections are not going to be changed for the 2018 elections and that only issues to do with accessibility can cause the shifting of a polling station.
