Two men who were caught selling voter registration forms at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission offices at Makombe Building in Harare have been charged with fraud.
They were selling the forms to people who wanted to register to vote in the harmonised elections scheduled for this year.
James Chinzete and Garikai Ruwizhu appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court and were not asked to plead to the charges.
On February 24, it is alleged, the duo approached Brandon Chandomba, who wanted to register to vote and was waiting to be supplied with ZEC VR1 forms and the two told him that he was supposed to use ZEC VR3 and VR9 forms.
They allegedly charged him US$5 although the forms are not for sale.
ZEC VR3 is a voter transfer form while VR9 is an affidavit of residence voter registration form.
Other people who were also queuing asked the electoral body’s officials about the price of the forms, leading to the arrest of Chinzete and Ruwizhu.
The two were searched and were found with 21 blank voter registration and transfer forms.
