The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has turned away over 59 000 prospective voters nationwide in the ongoing Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) exercise due to various reasons.
In a statement on its website ZEC said that it turned away prospective voters because they lacked the proper documents. Said ZEC:
Turned away: The law stipulates age, citizenship and proof of residence as requirements for voter registration. Turned away are persons not complying with these requirements, including illegible or defaced documents. Some of the turned away will find their way back once they get the relevant documentation, for example proof of residence or national identification (ID). These issues are being tackled through voter education and publicity campaigns.
FeedbackZEC said Mashonaland West province had the most number of people turned away with 9 988 people turned away.
