"Overall, the Center concluded that the 2023 electoral process did not adequately respect Zimbabwe’s regional and international commitments for democratic and inclusive elections, which made it difficult for contestants to compete on an equal basis and prevented the genuine expression of the will of the Zimbabwean people."
"The Center also found that critical election information — including the final voter list and the list of polling stations — was not readily available to stakeholders."
"However, Zimbabwean authorities conducted a raid on election night and shut down the nonpartisan citizen observation efforts of two respected civil society groups, the Zimbabwe Electoral Support Network and the Election Resource Center. The Center continues to urge the government of Zimbabwe to drop all charges against the civil society leaders and respect their rights of political participation."

"We share the view of the Election Observation Missions’ preliminary statements that the pre-election environment and election day fell short of regional and international standards. Issues included limited transparency from the electoral commission, the lack of level playing field, the passing of repressive legislation, long delays in the opening of some polling stations, and reports of intimidation of voters. The UK takes note of the announcement by the Chair of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission of results on 26 August. However, we are concerned by a lack of transparency in the tallying of results, as well as the arrests of domestic observers."

The actual voting on Aug. 23-24 saw long delays that triggered opposition accusations of rigging, voter intimidation and suppression. Regional and international observers also issued damning reports, including missions from the African Union and Southern African Development Community and the EU.
The EU mission said the elections “fell short of many regional and international standards, including key principles of equality, universality, transparency and accountability.” When Chamisa addressed reporters last Sunday, he declared the elections a complete sham. “We have won this election. We are the leaders,” he asserted.
Crisis 24 Garda Risk Alert
Protests likely across Zimbabwe through mid-September after opposition leaders reject election results. Possible violence.
Further opposition-led and election-related protests are likely nationwide, particularly in Harare, through at least mid-September. The main opposition party, the Citizen's Coalition for Change (CCC), has rejected the general election results. On Aug. 29, the CCC and the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) called for a re-run of the election due to alleged fraud. International observers from the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), the US, and the EU have also claimed irregularities during the polling process.
