voter education. ZESN was able to provide Educators in all three Constituencies for the prenomination phase of the exercise. However, ZESN focused on Marondera Central Constituency for the Registration phase of Voter Education since the model of registration earmarked for the constituency was being rolled out for the first time. Voter registration was polling station specific and Marondera was used as a pilot in assessing the feasibility of implementing polling station based voter registration and polling station based voting. Organisations invited by ZEC to conduct voter education were required to provide four voter educators per ward. For pre-polling voter education, ZESN deployed educators that worked in collaboration with ZEC, in Marondera and Epworth. The methodology used throughout the entire period of voter education was mainly door to door visits, distribution of information, education and communication (IEC) materials and addressing community gatherings at churches, halls, and community meetings and at shopping centres or growth points. As mentioned above, ZESN directed most of its resources towards the voter education process in Marondera Central. ZEC scheduled voter education for nomination in Marondera constituency from 13– 19 July 2015. At the invitation by ZEC, ZESN deployed a mobile team of four voter educators to complement the work of the much larger ZEC team. The ZESN team interacted with over 9,000 people throughout the 12 wards in Marondera Central. Voter education for registration was carried out from 22 July to the 1 August, 2015. During this period educators from both ZESN and the ZEC encouraged residents to go and register their names at the 31 static centres that had been established in the wards by the ZEC or and to look out for mobile registration teams that were roving from household – household in all the 12 wards. 6. VOTER REGISTRATION 6.1. Voter Registration and inspection of the voters’ rolls Section 155 (2) (a) of the Constitution provides for government to take all measures to ensure that all eligible citizens, that is to say the citizens qualified under the Fourth Schedule2 of the same document, are registered as voters. ZEC conducted voter registration and voters’ roll inspection concurrently in Marondera Central Constituency from the 6 July to 1 August, 2015. It must be noted that the registration exercise was negatively affected by funding constraints because ZEC was only able to open more static registration centres and deploy mobile teams in the wards from the 22July to 1 August, 2015. Prior to that, there were only two registration centres catering for 12 wards. 2 The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution contains qualifications and disqualifications for registration as a voter. A person is disqualified on grounds of mental disorder, if they are incapable of managing their own affairs or has been convicted of an electoral offence. 11 | P a g e
