 The law must provide for provisional delimitation maps to be advertised widely to ensure their accuracy to enable interested parties to properly scrutinise the maps. The delimited maps must be made available to the public at ward level and at constituency level and the public must have access to them.  The Electoral Law must also specifically include factors such as the principle against non-discrimination of minorities among issues to consider when drawing electoral boundaries. The ease and convenience of travel to polling stations within a delimited area is an important factor of consideration in the delimitation process.  The law should also provide guidance of a reasonable time within which ZEC must produce a delimitation report. 5.2 Political and Administrative Reforms  Ideally, the Constitution must bestow the sole responsibility of delimiting constituency boundaries to ZEC and exclude candidates such as the President and even members of parliament. At the moment the Constitution still creates room for the involvement of interested parties in delimitation, being the executive and legislature.  ZEC must roll out the new voter registration system, based on BVR or any other system, as soon as possible to ensure that there is a credible and trusted voter’s roll which can be the basis of the delimitation process. Redistricting must be computerassisted to instil the confidence of stakeholders in the process, as it is efficient and is likely to produce more accurate results.  While ZEC has discretion on the choice of methods it can use for carrying out the mapping and delimitation exercise, it is encouraged to adopt and use new computerbased and digital technologies which is more accurate, faster and easier to audit. Such a move would be a worthy investment and would give confidence to stakeholders.  Accreditation of observers must be extended to cover other electoral processes, such as registration of voters, or the delimitation of constituency boundaries.  ZEC must also set its delimitation budget in consultation with relevant stakeholders and all its operations during the delimitation process must be as transparent as possible. 5|Page
