ZESN Report on the 31 July 2013 Harmonised Elections ineffective. Clause 2.1.10 Challenge of election result is provided for in the law of the land. Clause 4. 1.2 Conducive environment for free, fair and peaceful elections Clause 4. 1.3 Nondiscrimination in voter registration. Clause 4. 1.4 Existence of updated and accessible voters roll While challenge of election results is available in the law, the process needs to be accessible and the requirement for US$10,000 deposit makes the process inaccessible. In addition, the process needs to be presided by a neutral judiciary system. While there was no overt violence, there were under-currents of intimidation in rural areas. Citizens in rural areas were instructed to “vote wisely��� or suffer as they did in the June 2008 election run-off. Voter registration was characterized by a ruralurban bias where rural residents found it easy to register while the burden of registration was higher on urban residents. While the voters’ roll existed, stakeholders were unable to access on time especially in its electronic form. 79 | P a g e
