#VotingFacts Zimbabwe has one of the most transparent voting processes in the world. If all parties are alert, "rigging" can only happen OUTSIDE the polling station by way of disrupting political opponents. We deal here ONLY with the actual voting process 
Voting is polling station based. Ballot boxes transparent. Each candidate is allowed 2 agents at any polling station. On election day, the agent counts number of people that come in to vote. At close of voting, presiding officer and agents gather to confirm the ballots cast
In presence of agents, the count itself first confirms number of ballots cast. Then valid votes are counted, spoilt ballots ejected by consent. Ballots are then separated by candidate. Then counted for each candidate. And then counted again until everyone satisfied
