The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, ZEC and the Registrar General today have launched a plan to go near people's homes so that they can acquire birth certificates, and identity cards and register them as voters in this year's elections which are expected to be held in August.
This 10-day program ends on the 21st day of this month. Those who are expected to go to these programs are those who are 18 years old and need birth certificates and identity cards or those who have lost them and those who want to vote this year.
But representatives of the CCC opposition party in places like Harare and Midlands have told the media that they are not happy with what ZEC is doing as they are saying that its programs have been delayed. Sometimes their machines are said to be not working properly.
ZEC election officer, Mr Utoile Silaigwana, said he was not at work today and told us to call the ZEC office but the phone was not answered.
Mr Solomon Bobosibunu, who oversees the operation of the independent Electoral Resource Center (ERC), says that the program has not been well publicised and he has also heard of problems in other areas.
