Measuring the Zimbabwean electoral environment according
to the SADC Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections
On the 17th
of August 2004, the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
leaders adopted the "SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing
Democratic Elections." As a member of SADC, Zimbabwe was a
signatory to these benchmark principles, and therefore it is entirely
fitting that Zimbabwe's performance in relation to the future
elections be measured against these principles and guidelines.
