Directions
On March 29, Zimbabweans will go to the polls to vote in general elections. The conditions for credible elections do not exist in Zimbabwe at this time and the odds appear stacked heavily against the possibility of free and fair elections. Currently, the electoral regulatory bodies are tightly controlled by the regime, voters' rolls are unreliable, and the registration process has been flawed. On election day, credible international observers have been denied access. What are the security conditions on the ground? What is the public mood toward the upcoming elections? What are the prospects for meaningful elections? What are the steps being taken by civil society organizations and the international community to ensure meaningful elections?
