THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has been accused of not posting the voters roll outside polling stations in Binga South constituency in terms of the law.
Binga South independent candidate, Themba Mukombwe has since lodged a complaint with Zec over the matter.
According to the Electoral Act, the voters roll must be displayed outside polling stations 72 hours before polling day.
“I have been going around the constituency to assess the situation. It is sad that Zec has not yet pasted the voters roll on the polling station walls,” Mukombwe said.
“They should have posted the voters roll by Monday so that the voters are able to check their names, especially where there are two polling stations in one place.”
Mukombwe said he tried to contact the district elections officer to no avail due to poor communication network.
“I am yet to know if it is an issue of logistics or they are manipulating the voters roll. I now have to travel to Lusulu Command Centre to find out what is happening,” he said.
Zec chief elections officer, Utloile Silaigwana, demanded questions in writing when contacted for comment.
