ZIMBABWE ELECTION SUPPORT NETWORK Multiple Registration Cases in the Final Voters’ Roll The current section highlights unusual or multiple registered entries in the FVR. To identify suspected multiple registered entries, the analysis focused mainly on the voter's national identity number (ID). The reason being that it was expected that the Automated Finger Print Identification System would make it technically impossible to register multiple times using the same ID. It also means that the voter's roll should reject entries which may suggest duplicate registrants. The voters' roll has 45 duplicates by addresses that are highly likely, as they are registrants sharing the same name, address, sex, and date of birth and the ID is almost similar. There are 135 likely duplicates in the 2018 FVR sharing same sex, address, name, and date of birth. Examples of some of the duplicates are outlined below: Duplicate Entry 1 Surname Chikwava Names Talent ID Sex 26-186952 C 26 M DOB Address PS Code Constituency 24/11/90 Chinyanga Village, 2600GON0406 Gokwe-Chireya Headman Chireya, Chief Chireya Province Midlands Chikwava Talent 26-186952 C 26 M 24/11/90 Village 9, Tokwe 3 6600TON1607 Shurugwi North Midlands Farming Area, Shurugwi We consider first two entries bearing the name Chikwava Talent. The entries share the same identity number (26-186952 -C26); both are men sharing the same date of birth (24/11/90) and both from the Midlands province. However, they do not share the same address, PS code or Constituency. One stays in Gokwe-Chireya and is registered to vote at a polling station with PS code 2600GON0406, while the other one stays in Shurugwi North and registered at polling station code 6600TON1607. Residential addresses are also different. It is not clear how this happened but it appears to be the same person entered into the voter's roll twice. Duplicate Entry 2 Surname Shoko Names ID Sex Mirriam 26-209414 S 26 F Province DOB Address PS Code Constituency 14/08/97 Village 2600GON2201 Gokwe-Gumunyu Midlands Chiparanganda, Headman Gumunyu, Chief Chireya Shoko Mirriam 26-209414 S 26 F 14/08/97 Village Mutiura, 2600GON0306 Gokwe-Kabuyuni Midlands Headman Makore, Chief Chireya Another suspicious case which appears twice is Shoko Miriam. Both names are in Midlands province, but different Constituencies. One is in Gokwe-Gumunyu Constituency under PS code 2600GON2201while the other is in Gokwe-Kabuyuni, PS code 2600GON0306. Though the two are under Chief Chireya, they reside at different residential address and under different headmen. What is really disturbing is that they share the same date of birth (14/08/1997); both are women and most importantly share the same ID (26-209414 S26). The ID is supposed to be unique to the individual. Again, this appears to be the same person.
