some voters are cheating
MANZINI – The Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) has discovered that other people are voting twice after being promised bribes.
This revelation was made by EBC Chairman Chief Gija and as a result the elections commission will issue a statement warning members of the public of the risk of being arrested if they register twice for the elections.
Chief Gija said they have received information that some people were registering twice in the same constituency.
“There are people who have promised the voters that, if they vote for them twice, they will give them E100 or E200 and they get tempted,” he said.
He said apart from stories of people registering twice at the registration centres, there were no reports of violence.
The chairman, sending a strong warning to people that will be tempted to register twice, said people should desist from doing so because if caught, the law will take its course.
He said his office will issue a statement on the issue soon.
He said at the moment, his office and the registration centres were not online to be able to connect and reveal the culprits.
The chief stated that if the commission’s financial muscle was strong, they could have connected all the centres to be able to immediately detect if a person has registered and a registration card issued to reflect what goes on in the centres countrywide, at the same time.
For now, he said the data is brought to the EBC for fingerprint verification and reiterated that people found to have registered twice would be arrested.
He said, “Criminal cases involving elections are so serious as they can affect the whole country.”
The EBC has also received information that some people, having registered to vote at certain areas, now want to change and that worries the commission, he said.
He said the EBC also questioned why a married woman would want to vote at her parental home, reaching the point of registering, but later want to change the place where she would be voting.
Chief Gija said they were meeting on Friday to deliberate on some of the reports that have started circulating.
