Zimbabwe’s Electoral Commission (ZEC) says staff involved in voter registration and voters’ roll management are being transferred to the Civil Registry Department and that there will be no job losses or retrenchments. The move follows the continuing shift of electoral functions after the enactment of the Constitutional Amendment Act (CAA3).
According to the reports, the transfer is intended to preserve staff skills and institutional knowledge as responsibilities move from ZEC to the Registrar’s office structure for voter-related registration processes. One outlet notes that 93 ZEC employees are affected, indicating the scale of the redeployment.
Both sources describe the same core steps: electoral registration functions are being reassigned, ZEC staff are to be absorbed within government administration linked to the civil registry, and ZEC leadership provides assurances that existing jobs are protected. Neither source attributes the changes to additional policy details beyond the constitutional amendment and the operational transfer of roles.
