Welcome to ZEC Online

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) was established, first, by an Act of Parliament in late 2004 and later, in 2005, by Section 61 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.

These electoral reforms saw the abolition of the Electoral Supervisory Commission (ESC), the Registrar General of Elections, and the Election Directorate and replaced them with the reconstituted Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), the Registrar General of Voters and the Delimitation Commission.

All election functions are now done by the ZEC. ZEC started operating in early 2005 and the first major election conducted was the March 2005 Parliamentary (General) Elections and later, in November 2005, the Senatorial Election.

It consists of a Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson and five other commissioners.

N.B. Subject to the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the ZEC Act, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission shall not be subject to the direction or control of any person or authority in the exercise of its functions in terms of subsection (1) or in the organisation of its staff, procedure and processes.
