The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) addresses some of the key challenges of mobile voter registration.

In summery the major issues affecting residents in registering as voters include but are not limited to:

- Confusion surrounding the issuance of a proof of residence for one to register as a voter
- R.G’s request for affidavits as extra confirmation of proof of residence
- The call by the Chairperson of Z.E.C that without a proof of residence one can still register. It seems as if the message has not been officially cascaded down to the workers at the R.G’s office
- Alien voter registration. The process still remains rigorous and many are turning away
- Slow service which only accommodates a very few people to register as voters in a day
- Some mobile centres are not operating within the stipulated 7am-7pm time frame as vetoed by the R.G.
- Limited voter registration centres simply makes it difficult and unnecessarily cumbersome for one to register.  There is need for the provision of more centres to decongest the very few that have been allocated

The Association urges the ZEC to consider the issues in this statement and ensure that more residents are afforded an opportunity to register and vote in the oncoming elections. CHRA will continue to monitor this process and encourages residents to come out in their numbers to register and vote.
