ECZ TO ENGAGE IEC

By Hector Simfukwe:
The Electoral Commission of Zambia says it will engage the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) to share some of the best practices involved in the management of elections.
ECZ chairperson Justice Essau Chulu says   the  Commission wants to learn on how to deal with electoral related disinformation and abuse of social media during elections.
Justice Chulu says  there is need to adequately deal with issues of disinformation and abuse of social media during elections as it has  potential to mislead electorates and other electoral stakeholders.
Justice Chulu  was speaking in Pretoria, South Africa after presenting a preliminary statement on behalf of the SADC Election Management Bodies on the just ended National and Provincial Elections in that country .
He further said the  Commission would like to  emulate the use of scanners in the voting process to ensure that voters were quickly identified and directed to the right polling stations.
This is contained in a statement made available to ZNBC News by First Secretary for Press and Public Relations at the Zambian mission in South Africa, Naomi Nyawali.
