1⃣ As @EuropeMdc we project a US$2,31 million budget for polling agents. @mdczimbabwe
💰This means it needs between 210 and 11500 people only to fund protection of the vote in 2023. @DavidColtart

2⃣ We will have 210 constituencies, and approximately 11 550 polling stations factoring in new voters.
👨👩👧We will need 4 agents per polling station making a total of 46 200 polling agents. @daddyhope independently arrived at a figure of 44 000, PAs

2⃣ This implies an average of 55 polling stations per constituency, which translates into 220 polling agents per constituency.
Assuming that each polling agent gets a $5 allowance per meal & 3 meals/day, then each polling agent needs $15 for food/day.

3⃣ If polling agents guard the vote for 2 days that’s $30 for food/person, if we add a $20 extra stipend it will translate into $50/agent.
💰US$50/agent translates into US$200 per polling station, US$11 000 per constituency, and US$ 2,31 million total.

4⃣ We can raise this if 11 500 people donate US$ 200 each, thus adopting a polling station. By setting aside $20 for 10 months 11 500 of us can achieve this.
💰Alternatively, we can have 210 people to donate US$11 550 each, by adopting a constituency.

5⃣Or any variation in-between like 1150 people donating US$2000, or 2300 people donating US$1000 each.
💰The US$1000 option is cost effective for diasporas, instead of paying at least $1500 flight ticket from US , UK, EU, or Australia to go and vote.

6⃣Diaspora can sacrifice US$1000 for election agents and save at least US$500, and our vote is secure. Our funds can bring more votes, than the diaspora vote itself.
✅Alternatively, we can have 46 200 volunteers who do not need a stipend.

7⃣From this analysis, it takes only 210 people to fund voter protection in 2023.
💻An online system where total donations can be seen in real time can be developed.

8⃣ As diaspora we send more than US$1 billion in remittances to Zimbabwe🇿🇼, we have the capacity to raise money for our movement.
💰Be ready to join us to fund change in Zimbabwe. @mdczimbabwe@nelsonchamisa@advocatemahere

9⃣ MDC Alliance was formed to challenge ZANU PF hegemony. We will complete the task, ZANU PF will fall.
💰There is no price too high to pay for our freedom, we are ready to sacrifice not only our money, but our very lives to protect our vote in 2023.
