ZESN - Promoting Democratic Elections in Zimbabwe 7. Analysis of the Final Voters' Roll All fields in the voters' roll (voter name, ID number, sex, date of birth, voter's address, polling station code, polling station name up to province) were filed. Generally, the registered voter population of 5 695 706 is lower than both the 18+ 2012 census population (6 805 455) and 2018 18+ projections (7 224 128) (see section on 'Comparison of the FVR with ZimStats Census Data and Projections'). Of the total adult population of registrants contained in the FVR, roughly 54% (3 073 190) are women and 46% (2 622 516) are men. 7.1 Distribution of Registered Voters by Age There were differences in the number of voters within different age groups. Roughly 56% (3 201 447) of the population of registered voters were 39 years and below. More than a thousand registrants (1141) or 0.02% were aged 100 and above. The age group with the highest number of voters was 30-34 years (7 81 2 27), followed by 20-24 (780 903) in second place. The others were 35-39 and 25-29 respectively. Table 2 below illustrates the ages and sex of the registered voters range from 18 to 118 years.

There were three oldest voters in the final voters' roll who were aged 118 years and were found in Manicaland, Mashonaland West, and Masvingo. Apart from the age variable, ZESN also considered how the registered voters were distributed according to urban/rural locations. The results of the analysis showed that most of the registered voters (68%) reside in rural Zimbabwe compared to 32% who stay in urban areas (See table 3 below). 30 REPORT ON THE 30 JULY 2018 HARMONISED ELECTIONS ZESN
