- The voters’ roll ZESN remain concerned about the voters’ roll and the anomalies that cropped up during the byelections. Of concern are cases raised by voters whose names were missing from the voters’’ roll during the by election yet they claimed that their names where in the voters’ roll during Harmonized elections. In the same way the lack of updating of the voters’ roll as evidenced by the use of slips remains a problem. ZEC needs to ensure that the voters’ roll is updated for future elections to prevent disenfranchising voters during polls. - Voting procedures ZESN is concerned that the procedure of showing the ballot paper to the presiding officer after casting a vote remained in force during the by elections. This system was done away with using the Electoral Amendment Act of 2013 which prescribed that the voter did not have to show the seal to the Presiding Officer but simply place their ballot paper in the box after voting. ZESN noted that in almost all polling stations, the voters would show their ballot paper to the presiding officer after voting. This raises issues of voter education on the part of the electorate and training on the part of the presiding officer who did not correct this practice. Counting Counting in all polling stations took place according to procedures and votes were displayed outside the polling stations. All party agents agreed that the process had gone well and signed the V11 forms. Results In all the wards, ZANU PF councilors won the seats. The table below shows the results of the byelections.
