Many Zimbabweans say they are most encouraged by the peaceful environment that characterises today's elections.

According to a SABC report the 2005 elections were marred by political violence which led to the arrest of senior leadership of the opposition MDC.Both international observers and the opposition condemned the outcome said it was flawed.

90 000 polling officers at almost nine thousand voting stations countrywide has been deployed by the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC).

the ZEC says that 7pm will mark the close of all voting stations but those already in the queue at closing time will not be denied the opportunity to cast their votes.
