Diagram 26: Illustrating Conduct of Political Parties on the Election Day
Diagram 26 above shows that in 94.20% of the polling stations observed by CCJPZ, there were no
political sloganeering or display of political party regalia as instructed in Electoral Code of
Conduct for Political Parties and Candidates and Other Stakeholders. Therefore there were no
significant recorded political disturbances of voting during 2018 Harmonized Elections.
5.2.10 Queuing Voters after 7.00pm
According to Section 53 (3) of the Electoral Act; ―The presiding officer shall permit every voter
who, at the time fixed in terms of this section for the closing of the polling station concerned, is in
the queue of persons waiting to cast their votes, to record his or her vote before closing the polling
stationǁ. CCJPZ observed whether this was followed in 2018 Harmonized Elections as illustrated
