The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) yesterday said it will not allow any political party to be directly involved in the national mapping exercise being carried out by the electoral body.
Various political parties have been demanding that they be involved in the mapping exercise that will see voters being restricted to voting at one polling station.The national mapping exercise, which ends on November 30, is meant to identify households that will fall under an identified polling station in a ward.
ZEC chairperson Justice Rita Makarau told political parties during an engagement meeting that they had no constitutional mandate to be involved in the demarcation exercise although she said political parties were free to criticise ZEC processes.
