Voters find their names missing from roll ahead of Zimbabwe election: Some Zimbabwean voters who had previously registered have found their names missing from the voters’ rolls.
The opposition and electoral watchdogs said the anomalies and mistakes in the rolls could negatively impact the general election in August.“We have noted serious anomalies in the voters’ roll laid out for inspection by the public. Registered voters who have been appearing on the biometric voters' roll online inspection platform are suddenly missing from the current online platforms and the voters roll under inspection seems not to be synchronised with the new delimitation boundaries.
Zimbabwean lawyer and opposition politician David Coltart said it took him two days to find his name in the ZEC data base, but his name is not appearing at any polling station in his Bulawayo constituency. “After almost two days of persistent searching I’ve finally established I’m still on the ZEC data base even if my name doesn’t appear at any polling station. I remain with the concern that my name may be removed and the only evidence I have of registration is the mobile phone screenshot that says I am registered at Hillside Bowling Club, where I am not in fact registered. In all my 40 years since returning to Zimbabwe I have never seen such chaos.
