The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has warned the nation that announcing election results before ZEC is an offence.

ZEC confirmed this on their official Twitter handle.

“It is illegal to announce election results before they are announced by ZEC.”

ZEC said Presidential Election results will be announced within five days after polling day at the ZEC National Coalition Centre.

“It is illegal to announce election results verbally or in print before they announced by ZEC,” added ZEC.

Violators of this electoral offence will face legal consequences, including fines, imprisonments or both.
