Zimbabwe’s Electoral Commission (ZEC) says its modalities are now in place ahead of Monday’s general elections and has urged political players to wind up their election campaigns by Saturday.

The electoral body says it has dispatched personnel and material well in advance to ensure that the electoral process goes ahead smoothly without delays, the Zimbabwe Herald reported on Friday.

ZEC Commissioner Dr Qhubani Moyo said preparations were on schedule.

“It’s all systems go for the commission. We have completed training of polling officers all over the country and as of today we were already doing the process of deployment of some of the personnel and the election material that is going to be used in those places,” said Moyo.

“Over and above that we have prepared the polling stations wherever they are, if they are within a building of schools or other buildings they are now ready.”

Tents have been erected in areas where there are no buildings or schools available to use as polling stations.
