11 000 Registered Voters Placed On Exclusion List, Demographic Data Not Captured Correctly

Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) deputy director for Elections and Training Rejoice Mthombeni said that 11 000 people from the 5,4 million registered voters have been placed on the exclusion list.

Presenting a paper on Electoral Processes at a media workshop on election reporting in Bulawayo, she said the names of the excluded registrants would be forwarded to the Registrar General.

There are close to 11 000 people on the exclusion list because there are some instances where we noticed that there are people with the same names, surname, same age, and registration documents. So, as we were clearing the voters roll, we picked up those things.So we have taken that to the Registrar General’s office because say for example someone between the two, one would be having an authentic document, so we took it to civil registry so that they determine who is who.
