removed from Bulawayo province. Marginal increases were observed across all other provinces with the least positive variance in Masvingo where there was an increase of only 8 (0.001%) registrants. The marginal variances recorded between the FVR and the PVR of less 5% margin of error implies FVR quality was nearly the same as the PVR released on the 18th of June 2018. Across all the 10 provinces in the country, and for both the final voters’ roll and the provisional voters’ roll, more women than men registered to vote. The final voters’ roll for Bulawayo showed that 65 women and 58 men had been removed from the PVR. Combined, this gave a total of 1123 removed, as earlier observed. Masvingo Province results showed an increase in the number of females in the final voters’ roll from 356512 to 356533 while the males showed a decrease from 260692 to 260679 registrants.
