MDC spokesperson Nelson Chamisa said on Wednesday MDC received reports from Rushinga in Mashonaland central and Mudzi in Mashonaland.
“All those who are registering to vote are being given back-dated voter registration certificates so that they can vote in the coming election. We are taking this seriously with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) because the registration of voters for the purposes of this election ended on 14 February,” said Chamisa.
ZEC announced last month would use the same voters’ roll used during the general elections on March 29, meaning those who were not registered before February 14 this year would not be able to vote.
“Zanu (PF) is certain that they are not going to win this election and they are prepared to stay in power by what ever means. The regime has become desperate. District administrators who sympathise with us have been phoning the party and giving us details of this operation,” added Chamisa.
ZEC chief elections officer Utoile Silaigwana was not available for comment. One can use a voter registration certificate to vote even if his or her name is not in the voters’ roll. – CAJ News
