However, we also note that FVR population is higher than census data in ages 40-49 years then 60-69 years. This difference, however, is not large enough to have any impact on the overall picture. This section makes an analysis of the 2018 PVR and the 2018 FVR. The Table below is a comparison of the provincial totals for both the preliminary voter's roll and the final voters' roll as published by ZEC. Overall, the registered voters increased marginally (0.21%) from 5 683 936 in the PVR to 5 695 706 in the FVR. However, when ZESN checks how this marginal increase plays out across by province, it realizes that about 86.3% (10159 out of total of 11770) of those that were added to the final register are in Mashonaland West province. This report could not however, compare constituency data with Census figure is ZimStats data does not consider constituencies during census. To be able to do this, there is need first compile data by ward then aggregate wards that are in each constituency manually. This task is beyond the scope of this report. 56 FINAL REPORT OF THE 2018 VOTERS' ROLL AUDIT
