Harare Glenview South Harare Municipality (32) A voter was given 3 ballot papers and only cast 2 (one for National Assembly and the other one for Local Authority). The polling officer asked him where the other ballot paper was and he said he was only given two. The presiding officer called the policeman, polling agents and observers. They searched him but did not find the paper so voting was stopped for 30 minutes. The voter said he would check in the booth and he came back with the ballot paper saying it was a spoiled paper. The presiding officer asked him why he was saying it was a spoiled paper now yet he had said he only got 2 ballot papers. So the voter was handcuffed and taken to Glenview Police Station. Harare Mt Pleasant Harare Municipality (17) 79 people were turned away as they had white paper registration slips. They have been told to go to ward 7, which is Mt Pleasant High School.

They informed ZESN observers that they had registered before the cut- off date.
