By Paul Nyathi|The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, ZEC, says the details provided on the electronic voters roll distributed to interested persons since Monday are enough information.

The Commission said that all other details that political parties are demanding for is personal information which can not be distributed to protect the voter.

Commissioner Qhubani Moyo said this in response to the MDC-T complaint that information supplied on the voters roll was inadequate. The opposition party Deputy Treasurer Charlton Hwende burst out on Wednesday claiming that the voters roll should include photographs of the voters.

Citing Section 9 of Instrument 85 of 2017 on the Electoral Regulations passed by parliament, Hwende demanded that ZEC provides the voters roll with the photograph of the voters.

The MDC Alliance candidate for Kuwadzana claimed that by not providing the photographs, ZEC was conniving to rig the elections as people risk being turned away at polling stations for different photographs.

“ZEC must release the full and final voters roll now or face the people,” said Hwende threatening.

Section 9 of Statutory Instrument 85 of 2017-Electoral (Voter Registration) Regulations, 2017 provide that; “The CEO shall compile a voters’ roll for each polling area showing the voter’s name, DOB, sex, ID number, physical address and PHOTOGHAPH”

Commissioner Moyo threw away Hwende’s request saying the commission can not provide the photos on the voters roll.

“On the voting day, the voters roll used will have Photos of each registered person for identification purposes. We have them& we will not throw them into public for security of the voter.The details given out are already enough.”
