Hannah Menchu- Zimbabwe votes on constitution plan

Zimbabwe Constitution Election

Voters in Zimbabwe have voted in a referendum on a new constitution that would limit future presidents to two terms. 

The draft constitution also proposes:
  • A bill of rights to protect free expression
  • Devolution to provincial authorities
  • Scrapping the president's power to veto legislation
  • Halting legal challenges against land redistribution











Polls opened at 05:00 GMT and closed at 17:00 GMT, and the voting day was largely peaceful.
Election officials said results of the referendum would be announced within five days.

I think the lady's face says it all.  She is so happy to have voted.
