5.6 Inspection and Audit of Voters’ Rolls Apart from voter registration, a key process is the inspection of the voters roll. This process enables voters to verify the accuracy of their details on the voters’ rolls. Some voter details may have been incorrectly entered onto the voters’ rolls and some may be missing. The law requires that the voters roll must be availed in time to allow voters to make appeals and for any queries to be resolved by the relevant authorities. Parties and other interested stakeholders should also be able to audit the voters roll to ensure that it is a true and a fair reflection of the electorate. These processes are fundamental as they reduce exclusion of voters from the roll, and help improve the credibility of the voters roll. ZEC announced that the inspection of a provisional voters roll would take place between 19 May and 29 May 2018. It also announced a new voter registration blitz throughout the country within the same period. 5.7 Provision of voters’ rolls The Electoral Law provides that ZEC must give parties and candidates’ copies of the voters roll. In the past, printed copies have been provided but are not “searchable and analyzable.” ZEC must provide soft copies that can be analyzed free of charge, facilitating easy auditing of the voters’ rolls to ensure credibility of the roll and easy redress of concerns. 21
