The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has set up 287 mobile voter registration centres in Masvingo province for the first phase of the mobile registration blitz that started on February 1, 2022.
The mobile registration exercise will be conducted in two phases, the first being from February 1 to 18 while the second runs from April 11 to 30, 2022.
During the mobile blitz ZEC will be in and around wards using schools, clinics, tents and business centres so as to reach people in their wards and communities.
ZEC Masvingo deputy Provincial Election Officer (PEO), Maxwell Ncube encouraged first time voters to come and register as well as taking advantage of the blitz as they are visiting their areas.
“All new registrants should come in numbers and take advantage of the teams that are visiting their areas and register to vote as we are preparing for delimitation.
“Delimitation is all about numbers, therefore we are encouraging every voter to take this opportunity and register. It is their time and responsibility to exercise their right to register as a voter so that they can vote in 2023,” said Ncube.
ZEC postponed the programme in December last year citing that a number of new registrants had no national identity documents.
The registration blitz will be conducted with each registration centre having numbers of days which vary from one to five.
