TheZimbabwe Electoral Commission  has promised that this year’s coming elections cannot be rigged as the country’s voting system is foolproof,
 Yesterday ZEC challenged anyone who could prove otherwise to step forward. In an interview at the electoral body’s Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) stand, ZEC chairwoman Justice Priscilla Chigumba said the fact of the system being tamper-proof should ensure a free, fair and credible election that could not be rigged.

She said ZEC was committed to providing a credible election through its 100 percent secure biometric voter registration (BVR) system.

BVR is a new voter registration system which captures an individual’s biometric features and ensures nobody can vote twice.
“The BVR system is tamper-proof for the simple reason that the data that we collected is housed in something called the consolidation server. The consolidation server contains the master server that contains all the information and we then have other servers which we are using to connect that data. Those servers have very strict protection files. They are very strict un-hackable access level passwords that are tamper-free,” said Justice Chigumba.

She said members of the public with evidence that the voting system could be interfered with should bring it forward.
“And I can assure Zimbabwean voters, if any Zimbabwean or any other person who has information that ZEC is involved in practices which might be viewed as tampering with that data base, can they bring that evidence to us,” she said.- state media
