Elections feasible by 31 July

The chair of the Zimbabwe Election Commission Rita Makarau today announced that voter registration and voter inspection will run concurrently and will start on Monday, 10 June. This means elections are possible by 31 July as the exercise will be completed 21 days before the end of the month. “Contrary to assertions by some people, the law stipulates that the 30-day period should be for voter registration as well as inspection of the voters’ roll. This means the two processes will run simultaneously and we will not have a separate 30-day period for registration and an additional 30-day period for inspection,” Makarau, a former High Court Judge, said.
