Everything stands ready for Saturday's voting in Glen View South plus Rushinga Rural District Council's Ward 19. Materials arrived with staff trained already, according to Electoral Commission deputy head Rodney Kiwa. These special elections filled empty seats after Howard Machipisa from Rushinga Ward 19 died alongside Grandmore Hakata from Glen View South. Voters head to Glenview 1 Community Hall or Nyamanyanya Primary School, depending on their area. Officials set up 43 polling stations around Glen View South, with just four stations serving Rushinga's Ward 19.
The commission spent ZWG$25.5 million preparing both elections. Officials want everyone to behave properly throughout voting day. Five people compete for Glen View South, including Zanu PF's Tsitsi Tawomhera, against four others, including three independent candidates. Rushinga sees just two people running—Trinity Madzinga from Zanu PF facing independent Itai Kahwiti. Glen View South has 31,519 registered voters with 33,700 ballots printed. Rushinga expects 1,578 voters using 1,700 prepared ballots.
