ZIMBABWE ELECTION SUPPORT NETWORK Assessing comprehensiveness of the voters' roll People-to-list Missing data age It can be noted that more respondents in the 15-34 age group (15.7%) and 75 – 95 age group (14%) could be potentially missing from the voters' roll. But since they did not provide any proof of registration it is difficult to ascertain that they are registered. Missing Names Records of registered voters' collected by enumerators from the field were then verified in the voters' roll in order to find out if there are any missing names. Of those who said they are registered voters' upon verification, 11.8% could not be located in the register. Provincially Harare (22.2%) has the highest number of missing records (See Table below). These people who could not be found might not be registered because they did not provide relevant proof of registration in the form of a slip though during field work they said they were registered.
