minimize eventual omissions of names in computerized registration rolls, due to technical mistakes, the electoral administration bodies also use Manual Registration Voters Roll as a “backup” because using this books it is possible to find all names. However, there is a challenge related to the need to improve electronic registration system in order to avoid situations in which registration roll can be used simultaneously what can also be understood as a means of including non registered voters. 31. In relation to the recommendation by the APR Panel on the need to deal adequately with the voting count, the CNE has been recording some progress in this field in such a way that preliminary results are announced after 48 hours. However, it should be noted that the electoral processes in the country to a certain extent have been facing some complaints in such a way that all electoral processes since 1994 have resulted in invariable complains by the opposition parties. 32. Among other complains by the opposition parties, are those on pre-election period limited to continuous questioning on the composition of the electoral administration bodies (STAE and CNE); protests over the exclusion of candidates1; protest over the constant electoral registration which from the opposition point of view allows for the doubts on the places or polling stations where to cast a vote because the constant registrations always lead to the change of polling stations; complains on alleged transportation of voters to vote in polling stations where they are not registered2; and a massive presence of police forces during electoral period allegedly acting in a partial manner. 33. On the other hand, in general, the post-electoral complains are limited to what the opposition considers as being the practice of “filling up the ballot boxes”, that is, the ballot papers in the ballot boxes are considered as being valid ones regardless of the number of voters registered in the electoral roll as prescribed in article 85º of the former Electoral Law3; and also the use of ink for marking with digital impression of additional ballot papers to validate them4. 34. However, given such a claim about the invalidation of votes, the CNE repeatedly came to the yard to confront the grievances of the opposition, particularly from RENAMO for lack of "material evidence". But this creates an impossible situation. The only possible “proof” is the nullified ballot papers but all of the “void” ballot papers are in custody of the CNE. 1 In the 2009 elections there were some exclusions – by the Constitutional Council – of six out of nine presidential candidates and disqualification of one parliamentary candidate of opposition party of the sever of 11 provinces . 2 For example, according to AWEPA Bulletin, “in Quelimane, during the local elections of 2008, RENAMO complained that the former combatants who live in the District of Nicoadala, out of city, were transported to Quelimane a day before the voting ".

This article gave allowed for complaints mainly by RENAMO in that FRELIMO filled up ballot boxes. The abovementioned article was a reason of discussion among them and it is one of those that did not allow for approval of Electoral Law for more than 2 years. FRELIMO defended the maintenance of this article while RENAMO did not. 4 According to the publication of European Parliamentarian– AWEPA: " in the Mozambique Island, (Province of Nampula, in the North), the protest included denouncing on the filling up of ballot boxes, use of ink for placing of digital things onto additional ballot papers to invalidate them and that RENAMO voters were prevented for exercising their will " [Boletim do Processo Político em Moçambique – Boletim Eleitoral N.16, Maputo, 26 de Novembro de 2008). 23
