iteration, are encrypted with stakeholders being provided unique passwords to allow them to access the information on the voters’ roll. 10.8. The electronic voters’ roll is searchable and analysable as required by the law, but it generally cannot be edited as the Electoral Commission maintains a level of encryption on the said voters’ roll which prevents the editing of the voters’ roll. 10.9. However, like all encrypted electronic documents, there is a possibility that their security features can be by-passed through computer hacking. The Electoral Commission’s belief, however, upon issuing the electronic voters’ roll, had always been that it is adequately secured. 10.10. Events during the election period, however, caused the Electoral Commission to reconsider this belief. It came to the Electoral Commission’s attention that a website called www.zimelection.com has been established, on which site appear downloadable copies of the electronic voters’ roll. These downloadable copies no longer had the Electoral Commission’s encryption and were thus capable of being edited. I attach hereto, marked Annexure ‘D’, screen grabs from the website that illustrate the averments I make herein. 10.11. In terms of our law, the keeping, maintenance and dissemination of voters’ rolls lies in the exclusive purview of the Electoral Commission. This is what underpins the criminal sanction provided in s21(9) of the Electoral Act, [Cap 2:13], against anyone who tampers with or attempts to profit from the voters’ roll.
