In order to promote the right to vote as provided for in Section 67 of the Constitution, the ZHRC launched an electoral awareness campaign under the theme “My Vote, My Right, My Choice” on the 25th of April 2018 at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, Bulawayo. Some of the IEC materials produced by ZHRC before collection by monitors deployed throughout the country to monitor the 2018 elections. The campaign utilised radio, television, social media, road shows and public gatherings and exhibitions as well as the Commission’s website. Consequently, there was increased interaction between ZHRC and the public resulting in the Commission receiving an increased number of election related complaints and enquiries. The Commission deployed a total of 23 teams across the 10 Provinces of Zimbabwe during the period from 23 July to 06 August 2018 to monitor the elections, continue with awareness raising and handle complaints. Harare Metropolitan Province, Bulawayo Metropolitan Province, Matabeleland Provinces and Mashonaland Provinces had 2 teams each whilst Midlands Province, Masvingo Province and Manicaland Province were monitored by 3 teams each. In comparison to previous elections, the 2018 harmonised elections exhibited a different and improved political playing field, as evidenced by the emergence of 133 political parties, Page 8 of 55
