He made the remarks in an interview with a local radio station, ZiFM.
Mliswa, a former member of the ruling ZANU PF, said the government would have used the taxpayers’ money to ensure that the electorate is registered therefore choosing not to vote after successfully registering should be punishable.
Zimbabwe is gearing up for the harmonised elections scheduled for 2023. 
Political analysts say the electorate, especially members of the opposition, has been disillusioned by ZANU PF’s prolonged stay in power despite their voting for its removal in previous elections.
Some members of the opposition allege that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission connives with ZANU PF to manipulate electoral processes in favour of the ruling party making it folly to participate in electoral processes.
Meanwhile, there has been a bevvy of organisations mobilising the citizenry to register to vote and vote in the upcoming elections.
