"CIP Eleições" last week (4 April) presented its findings of the first 20 days of voter registration, held ahead of the general elections scheduled for 9 October 2024. "CIP Eleições" noted:
+ An absence of monitors from the opposition parties in many registration posts, due to logistical problems and to conflicts inside Renamo and the MDM;
+ The complete absence of the extra-parliamentary parties at the registration posts;
+ Many technical problems with registration equipment in Nampula, Zambézia and Sofala provinces (malfunctioning of mobiles and printers, difficulties in taking photographs, and with electricity or solar panels);
+ Few technical problems in the south of the country and the north;
+ Many logistical problems due to the rains, in many districts, particularly Zambézia Cabo Delgado, in the north;
+ The insurgency is affecting the registration in Cabo Delgado, particularly in the most affected districts, such as Quissanga and Ibo, and some villages in Chiure and Balama;
+ The CIP survey concluded that 12% of the registration posts are not working (compared to the CNE claim of 2%).
