Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has said continued power cuts are negatively affecting the ongoing final mobile voter registration blitz at some centers.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the commission said the challenge is further worsened by the cloudy weather conditions in some parts of the country which affects the solar-powered BVR kits.
“The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) hereby notifies the public that it is currently experiencing technical difficulties at some of its registration centres,” partly reads the statement.
“This is due to shortages of electricity affecting the charging of the BVR kits.
“The situation is also worsened by the cloudy weather, which affects the solar-powered BVR kits. ZEC assures the public that every eligible citizen will be registered.”
However, every eligible citizen will be registered, the commission said.
The biometric voter registration programme will run until March 21.
The electoral commission released a schedule showing where teams will be, on particular days.
The first mobile registration was conducted in 2022 from April 1 to September 30.
