ZEC can you please conduct another voter registration blitz?
Warren Park legislator Shakespear Hamauswa has appealed to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to do another voter registration blitz.
Zimbabwe is going to hold general elections in 2023 and various preparatory processes have been ignited.
There is however concern about the number of people who have registered for the elections.
This has seen Honourable Hamauswa appealing to ZEC to conduct another round of voter registration blitz.
‘’My point of national interest concerns the low rate of voter registration. If we check the current levels of the people who are registering to vote, it is really worrisome.
‘’As we move towards 2023 elections, I do not think it will be a good thing to keep quiet as if things are okay. This is why I am raising this issue in this august House so that the Minister of Justice may call upon ZEC to do another Voter Registration blitz similar to what happened in the first quarter of this year.
‘’During the first quarter, Voter Registration Program came before the mobile issuance of identification documents. Yet the I.Ds are a prerequisite of voter registration. As a result, when we were mobilising people to vote, they faced the challenge that they had no I.Ds.
‘’Therefore Mr. Speaker Sir, I am humbly requesting that the Minister of Justice considers and ensures that ZEC do again another voter registration blitz so that Zimbabweans will be able to register to vote and exercise their right and duty to vote next year,’’ he said.
