Zimbabwe: BVR Blitz Enters Third Phase

17 November 2017

The third phase of the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) blitz started yesterday with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission having registered more than 2,3 million people. According to ZEC, a cumulative 2 361 433 people have been registered from the two phases of the registration exercise. "Total voters registered (as at November 13) is 2 361 433. The figure includes figures from the static registration centres for the period 18 September to 9 October 2017. These figures exclude returns or submissions from 704 centres on November 13, 2017 at 4pm due to network and communication challenges. Figures from these remote and inaccessible centres are coming at different intervals as and when they manage to get the network or travel to accessible areas," ZEC said.

ZEC says the figures will be included in the final tally when they become available. Harare has the highest number of registered voters at 391 316, followed by Manicaland 308 295, Midlands 302 908, Masvingo 300 399, Mashonaland East 285 999, Mashonaland West 234 865, Mashonaland Central 221 515, Matabeleland North 132 696, Matabeleland South 97 227 and Bulawayo 86 213.
