ZEC came under fire from the opposition and independent election watch bodies for the opaque manner in which it has so far run the voter registration and verification exercise.

In March, the Citizens Coalition for Change legislator, Allan Markham filed a court application challenging ZEC for access to the electronic voters' roll.But that didn't stop Zanu PF from sending text messages to registered voters urging them to vote for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Slaigwana said the voters' roll will, after the nomination court, which sits on 21 June, be"availed free to prospective candidates."ZEC will oversee the general elections against the backdrop of a public spat among its commissioners.

They said the delimitation didn't"meet the minimum standards expected regarding transparent procedures that strengthen stakeholders’ confidence and dispel potential gerrymandering allegations."
