Criteria for drawing boundaries
Question On what criteria are the boundaries drawn?
Réponses
a . "Equality" of population b . Respecting natural barriers e . Geographic size of district f . Communities of interest/cultural concerns g . Autre
Réponses In dividing Zimbabwe into wards and constituencies, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission must, in respect of any area, give due consideration to:
1) its physical features;
2) the means of communication within the area;
3) the geographical distribution of registered voters;
4) any community of interest as between registered voters;
5) in the case of any delimitation after the first delimitation, existing electoral boundaries; and
6) its population;
and to give effect to these considerations, the Commission may depart from the requirement that constituencies and wards must have equal numbers of voters, but no constituency or ward of the local authority concerned may have more than twenty per cent more or fewer registered voters than the other such constituencies or wards.
