The reports, however, are unconfirmed as they are being circulated by concerned voters and on social media platforms.
It is a fact, though, that there are pens, particularly supplied by Chinese manufacturers, whose ink disappears after some time.
"Confirmed from our ZEC contact Nikuv supplied ZEC with pens with fake
ink which fades within four hours. These pens will be used in MDC
strongholds and the votes will be considered spoiled," the message
reads in part.
ZEC polling officers are emphasising that voters must only use the pens they find in the polling booths.
Speaking on the sidelines with The Zimbabwean, a registered voter in
Harare, Tichaona Mawere (33) said he brought his own pen to the polling
station today because anything is possible at this point, but was advised to use the ZEC one.
ZEC has been accused of favoring Zanu (PF).
