The bias against opposition provinces is shown in the assignment of registration brigades. There are 9 921 625 potential voters and 3192 registration brigades, which means on average each brigade could register 3108 voters. Brigades in staunchly Frelimo Gaza must only register 1690 voters, but those in opposition supporting Sofala must each register 3997.

Calculating brigades must also take into account population density, as the law requires that voters must be 5 km or less from their polling station, which means that more sparsely populated districts will inevitably have fewer voters per brigade. But Niassa has a lower population density than Gaza, yet the number of voters per brigade is much higher. So this does not explain the discrepancy.

We defined a registration post as having a problem if the report showed at least one of these four issues: + at the time of the visit, the post did not have all the necessary material available or some equipment was not functioning.+ voters cards were not being given to at least some peopleData is presented by province and by municipality. Mais Integridade is only observing 26 municipalities.

Voter Registration Marred by Multiple Challenges in MozambiqueAn increase in the number of cholera cases, and a wave of disinformation about the spread of the disease, has led members of the public, mostly youths and adolescents, to destroy and burn public infrastructure, and the homes and property of community leaders, Joseph Hanlon writes for Mozambique News Reports And Clippings. Meanwhile, the opposition provinces of Nampula and Zambézia continue to suffer a registration crisis. Observers from the Mais Integridade civil society observation consortium found 89% of registration posts visited in Quelimane in the week of 19-25 May had problems, a sharp increase from the 68% the week before.
