In a Twitter post, seen by Pindula News, CCC national spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere, said the party\u2019s lawyers were now seized with the matter. Said Mahere:<\/p>\n<p>In Kwekwe, our election agents have unearthed an illegal polling station in the middle of a bush very far away from residential areas. This violates section 51 of the Electoral Act. Our lawyers are seized with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Mahere also said the party\u2019s polling agents had discovered that ZEC changed V11 forms. She said:<\/p>\n<p>Our polling agents at Alfreid Beit School Polling Station discovered @ZECzim changed V11 forms from being 1 page back to back to 2 pages. 1st page will be signed by agents &amp; 2nd page will have the results. The danger is p2 will be tampered with. We\u2019ve raised the issue with ZEC.<\/p>\n<p>In Mash West, our polling agents attended a @ZECzim training where they were told the names &amp; details of all voters would be captured at the entrance for \u201cCovid purposes\u201d. Recording voter details in this way is illegal &amp; a known intimidation tactic used by Zanu in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>She added that CCC election agents are working tirelessly in by-election areas and unearthing malpractices by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Mahere reiterated that they\u2019re watching the election closely to unearth rigging and electoral malpractices.<\/p>\n<p>She also repeated that ZEC is unfit for purpose citing anomalies on the voters\u2019 roll an alleged incident in which a ZEC official was \u201ccaught red-handed at Mhizha Primary School with ballot papers to be used in tomorrow\u2019s by-election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
