Despite provisions for all contesting political parties and candidates to deploy agents some political parties and independent candidates failed to deploy agents at all polling stations. In about 98% of polling stations in Marondera Central, only ZANU-PF was represented. Political parties and candidates must ensure that they deploy agents at all polling stations to ensure that their assessments of electoral processes are informed by their own observations. ZEC Resourcing ZESN notes the funding constraints that continue to hinder the effective and efficient implementation of electoral processes by ZEC. We observed that some of the logistical arrangements require attention, for instance in some of the polling stations ZEC officials were using candles for lighting. People with disabilities Section 51 (1a) of the Electoral Act says that every polling station shall be located in a place that is easily accessible to the public including persons with physical disabilities. ZESN observers’ reports showed that everywhere that the network deployed, polling stations where easily accessible to people living with disabilities. 11.
