Responding to a Twitter user who had accused the electoral body of being controlled by ZANU PF and also demanded the establishment of more voter registration centres in urban areas, ZEC said:<\/p>\n

Voter registration is continuous. If you are not registered, follow this link Consolidated ZEC Addresses to find a voter registration centre near you.<\/p>\n

Encourage your friends to use the current static voter registration centres which are seriously underutilised.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ZEC added only six people to the voters\u2019 roll in May in Masvingo Province.<\/p>\n
