ZIMBABWE ELECTION SUPPORT NETWORK How is it possible that two different people of different genders share the same ID? This is the case of Makamure Rosario and Kondo Chalton; both with ID number 38-123629 -B38. Makamure Rosario was born on 24 October 1978 and lives at House number C022, unnamed Street in Epworth in Harare. Kondo Chalton is from Mashonaland West, born on 28 June 1974 and living in Village Sungwi 1B under headman Mazaula and Chief Mujinga. The two are registered at two different polling stations as shown by the unique PS codes, in different constituencies namely Epworth and Hurungwe East. As already noted, the case of this pair might simply have been the result of a data entry error.

Both entries share the same ID number (63-493581-L25), which is supposed to be unique to the individual. Both are males staying in Nhunguru Street, Zengeza in Chitungwiza. However, their house numbers differ. Though they are both registered under the same Constituency, they are registered to vote under different polling station. Duplicate Entry 5 Surname Ndlovu Names Tendai ID Sex DOB Address 67-076653 E 67 F 30/08/71 House Number 579, Mandava Ndlovu Tendai 67-076653 E 67 F PS Code 6701ZTC0102 30/08/71 Mudereri Village, 6700RDC1304 Headman Mudereri, Chief Masunda, Zvishavane Constituency Zvishavane Ngezi Province Midlands Zvishavane Runde Midlands Ndlovu Tendai also appears twice in the FVR. Both registrants are from Midlands, share the same ID, which, as already noted, should not be possible as the ID is unique to individual, same sex and date of birth. However, the two do not share the same residential address; one lives in Mandava whereas the other lives in Masunda (Zvishavane). In addition, they are also registered in different constituencies though both constituencies are in Zvishavane in the Midlands province, but are registered to vote at different polling station. The analysis also points to suspicious cases with different permutations; 65,536 voters with duplicate names, 4,862 voters with duplicate names and date of births, 7,416 voters with duplicate names and address, 44 voters with the same name date of birth and similar address. The list can be found in the excel file called duplicates. Below, we present two unusual cases where we think chance alone can explain the similarities.

What is most striking about these two entries is that they also share the same date of birth. 53 FINAL REPORT OF THE 2018 VOTERS' ROLL AUDIT
