Whether citizens report being registered to vote depends to a degree on demographic and
political factors. For example, registration rates are highest in Masvingo and Midlands
provinces, where the ZANU-PF presidential candidate is expected to make a strong run, and
lowest in Harare, Bulawayo, and the Matabeleland provinces, where the opposition
candidate is projected to do well (Figure 2). These patterns may well reflect the relative
effectiveness of ruling and opposition parties to organize and control voter-registration drives
in their respective areas of strength.
