Other centres such as Tsungubvi Community Hall in Mazowe District Ward 17 registered 276 in two days while Queen Elizabeth Primary School in Bulawayo Ward 23 registered 103 people on 23 January and Dunuza Primary School in Chiredzi Ward 18 registered 162 voters on 24 January.29 The high turnouts in the extension period buttress the argument around the fundamental inadequacy of the 72 day period, with the extension helping to give some room for other prospective registrants who had missed the opportunity to register during the Blitz, to do so. 29 See ZESN (2018) Biometric Voter Registration Update - Number 17.
