Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Self-exiled former Information minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo has discussed the importance of real-time announcement of election results as Zimbabwe gears for 2023 harmonised elections. He was responding to the release of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)\u2019s 7 Electoral Reform Demands last week. In a Twitter thread seen by Pindula News, Moyo said the announcement is different from the declaration of results. We present his thread below:<\/p>\n

The release of #CCC\u2019s \u201c7 electoral reform demands\u201d has exposed the telling fact that the party and its loquacious trolls don\u2019t know that election results in Zim are ANNOUNCED, in real-time at polling stations, immediately after vote counting. This is huge for vote defence!<\/p>\n

In terms of s37C of the Electoral Act, see attachment, Zimbabwe\u2019s election system has five electoral centres. These five election centres have complementary roles; with each having its own election return (called a V-Form) and a distinct function in the election system!<\/p>\n

In terms of s38 of the Electoral Act, attached, Zimbabwe\u2019s plebiscite harmonises three elections that are run simultaneously: General (parliamentary), local authority and presidential elections. Results of these elections are ANNOUNCED in real-time at polling stations!<\/p>\n

Real-time result ANNOUNCEMENT is done in terms of s64(d) of the Electoral Act which mandates the presiding officer to: \u201cDisplay (announce) the polling station return (V11) to those present\u201d. The display is before publication of the result outside of the polling station!<\/p>\n
