In regard to the Zanzibar voters’ registration process, the pre-requisite of holding a Zanzibar Identification Card, attached to a 36 month residency requirement, should be reviewed in light of the difference of treatment between Tanzanian citizens registered on the mainland and Zanzibar. The discretionary powers attributed to local authorities (the shehas) in the proof of residency process should also be reviewed. The voters’ register should be inclusive, residency requirements should be further shortened while special attention should also be dispensed to the registration of youths and university students.
