Zimbabwe Elections Minimum Electoral Standards After the chaos of the 2003 and 2008 elections the Zimbabwe Election Support Network included tis in their report. Voters’ roll The recent audit of the voters’ roll by Zesn revealed a number of discrepancies in the voters’ roll hence there is need for; An accurate and complete voters’ roll before the impending elections Registration of eligible citizens (birth certificates, IDs, lost identity documents, all eligible Zimbabweans in the Diaspora) Reform of the Citizenship Act Access to the electronic voters’ roll at no cost at any time Further cleaning of the voters’ roll or fresh registration of voters Removal of strict registration requirements (proof of residence) Adequate dissemination of information on the inspection of the voters’ roll Zimbabwe cannot afford to have another disputed election and it is with this in mind, with a view of improving future elections, we propose that reforms are a matter of urgency and imperative before elections are held.
