By Paul Nyathi|The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission ZEC has warned that it will thoroughly investigate incidents of all people who registered more than once during the voter registration process.

Issuing a statement to the media on the progress the commission has made in the production of the voters roll, Commissioner Qhubani Moyo said that the commission will investigate each case on its individual nor merit and determine what the motive behind the double voting was.

“It is an offence to register twice as a voter and we are going to get to the bottom of each person who registered more than once to establish what the motive of the double registration was,” he said.

“Anyone found wanting will be dealt with within the provisions of the law,” said Moyo.

The commission is completing the production of the voters roll for the national elections set for July or August this year.

This year Zimbabwe adopted the electronic Biometric Voter Registration where the de-duplication process revealed that a huge number of people had taken chances and registered twice.

The initial output of the voters roll is expected out by the 19th of May when the voters roll inspection exercise will kick off for ten days.
