Zimbabwe has peaceful poll

Zimbabwe had peaceful elections today with Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chief Rita Makarau saying all the people in queues will be allowed to vote even if this means going up to midnight. The polls which kicked off at 7 am were due to close at 7pm. “Reports coming in from most provinces have generally gone well though some polling stations are still winding up. In Bulawayo queues were short with few people coming to cast their votes. In Mashonaland East, most districts experienced long queues except for Mutoko districts. In Mash Central there were high numbers of people being assisted to vote and that is normal,” Makarau said.
