The African Union will send a team of 60 observers for the 31 July elections. The team, which will be headed by former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, will be deployed on Sunday, 21 July, 10 days before the poll.
According to the African Union, the observer team will join a team of nine long-term observers who have been in Zimbabwe since 15 June.
The European Union has said that it will lift sanctions on Zimbabwe if the African observers say the elections in Zimbabwe were free and fair.
Voting started today with special voters casting their ballots. The special vote is over two days.
The Movement for Democratic Change has gone to court to stop the special voting because numbers have been inflated.
The case will be heard tomorrow.
