4.4. Late Arrival of Voting Material/ Ballot Papers Polling centres were scheduled to open at 07:00 AM. However, many polling stations started the process as late as 4:00PM. Figure 1 Polling Station being set up at Bradfield Shopping Centre, Bulawayo Metropolitan Province as at 10:23 am on voting day Section 67 (2) (a) of the Constitution4 stipulates that every Zimbabwean citizen has the right to join and participate in the activities of a political party of their choice. The right of party members to participate in the activities of the ZANU PF primary elections was not fully enjoyed as there was lack of coordination by the Party administration due to the late arrival of ballot papers in Constituencies such as Gwanda Central and North, Harare- Epworth, Mutare Central, Buhera, Kwekwe Central, Chiredzi West, Zaka North, Murehwa, Mutoko, Pumula, Nketa, Luveve, Bulawayo East and Central. This resulted in protests in Constituencies such as; Epworth and Mutare Central with voting failing to take place thereafter. In Chiredzi, Zaka and Murehwa Constituencies some people abandoned the process and returned to their homes without casting their vote. 4 Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No.20) Act, 2013 Page 10 of 22
