ANALYSIS OF THE FINAL VOTERS’ ROLL
All fields in the voters’ roll (voter name, ID number, sex, date of birth, voter’s address,
polling station code, polling station name up to province) were filed. Generally, the
registered voter population of 5695706 is lower than both the 18+ 2012 census population
(6805455) and 2018 18+ projections (7224128) (see section on ‘Comparison of the FVR with
ZimStats Census Data and Projections’). Of the total adult population of registrants
contained in the FVR, roughly 54% (3073190) are women and 46% (2622516) are men.
