Voters in Kuwadzana constituency could trace their names on an electronic voter's roll.

Most of their names were misplaced to Borrowdale and some even to Kambuzuma ward 13.

Mavis Maguru (49) said she could not find her name in her ward voter's roll.

"My name was traced online using a mobile and was found in Borrowdale voter's roll," she said.

However some members from the movement for democratic change who spoke to The Zimbabwean complained bitterly saying this was a new strategy to sabotage urban voters who are believed to be largely MDC supporters.

"ZEC is doing this just make confusion among people until they give up,"

said one of the members.

However an official from the commission dismissed saying its all based on false accusation

"I agree a number of names were misplaced but it was an honest mistake and should just to those wards and vote," said the official
