1] I've listened to a few views regarding elections in Zimbabwe.

I attempt to share my personal views regarding a few of these positions.

The first position is: #BoycottElections.
This position is grounded on the realization that: "elections will be rigged, so why bother".
2] Those who say the rigged elections do not solve anything should equally accept that boycotting them doesnt solve anything either.

In recent memory, MDC-T decided to boycott the 2008 rerun, and the 2015 by-elections after the recall of some 21 pro-renewal MPs.
3] In 2008, the boycott made sense because it was grounded on unmitigated violence which the international community couldnt ignore.

The 2015 by-elections boycott was of no political consequence with ZanuPF simply periodically increasing its Parly representation, until 2018.
