Reflecting on the first round of mobile voter registration that ended on May 19, several gaps stand out. First, officers from the RG’s department in many cases did a shoddy job. A lot of voters were frustrated by the arrogance and lack of professionalism among the officers, and failed to register. In some cases, those responsible for ensuring that people registered left them unattended for long periods, used abusive language and did not explain adequately to aspiring voters what was needed.
Second, the RG’s office failed to attend to the needs of potential voters who wished to have their identity documents regularised. We are aware of numerous cases in which those with defaced IDs did not manage to obtain new ones, despite having the money.
Third, there was deliberate misinformation, with political party representatives lying to voters regarding the dates and venues of mobile registration. This resulted in a significant voting population missing out during the first round.
Fourth, there seemed to be a deliberate strategy to circumvent areas perceived to be dominated by certain political parties, giving rise to suspicion that the RG was working in cahoots with some politicians to exclude some voters.
Fifth, the mobile registration exercise took too long to reach some areas, and insufficient consideration was made regarding the accessibility of certain registration centres. That caused some voters to stay at home, despite the fact that they intended to register.
Last, there were reports of intimidation, whereby some party activists threatened potential voters against registering.
ZEC and the RG’s office must take these into consideration and ensure that the second round of mobile registration, which we understand will be ward based, is flawless. It is clear that there is euphoria among Zimbabweans to register to vote in the next general poll this year, and the two bodies must ensure that they create an enabling environment.

I have also seen sites that display correctly in Mozilla Firefox and not in yandex Bowser, and vice versa. There are some little quirks and code issues that require some tweaking to display correctly in both browsers. I don’t try to test every site in every site browser that comes along. New browsers come along that are not fully tested and may or may not become a mainstay. The majority of surfers are using either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. If you are a website owner, I recommend you download both browsers. Then test and view your website in both.
