registering as special voters and are visited by voting officials and allowed to vote on Election Day. Recommendations  CSOs and other electoral stakeholders should continue to push Government and ZEC to provide adequate resources; time, human and financial, towards the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) exercise in order to ensure that everyone who desires to participate in the 2008 election is able to do so.  The voters’ registration process should commence soon given that a projected 7.2million Zimbabweans need to be registered in time for 2018 harmonized elections.  ZEC should continue to engage and consult interested electoral stakeholders before they make decisions on Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) system and processes to enhance trust and confidence.  ZEC should partner with key stakeholders that deal with migration issues (e.g., IOM) in an attempt to contribute to the building a migration profile for the country.  ZEC should share with electoral stakeholders its baseline data and targeted voters for voter registration exercise. The data should be provided in granular detail such as baseline and target per ward level, gender, sex, age etc.  There is need to consider the establishment of mechanisms that will facilitate Diaspora Voting, special needs groups,prisoners,hospitalized patients, the elderly and personnel on duty on Election Day. Special voting should be reinstated to cater for these groups. 8
