seconded to the Electoral Commission during the elections to cast their votes. I
attach hereto, marked Annexure ‘W’ a letter addressed to the Amalgamated
Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe in which the Chief Elections Officer advises
the leadership of that organisation of the measures put in place by the Electoral
Commission to ensure that civil servants voted on polling day. These included
posting them as close to their polling stations as reasonably possible; providing
them with transport on polling day to go and cast their votes and return to their
duties; ensuring that all polling stations had enough manpower to allow the
polling officers to take turns going to their respective polling stations to cast their
votes and ensuring that at every polling station any election official that wanted
to cast his/her vote would not have to stand in the voting queue in order for
them to speedily vote and return to his/her duties.
