JAY REEVES BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Alabama voters once again have the chance to remove the racist language of Jim Crow from the state's constitution, which was approved in 1901 to enshrine white supremacy as state law. Courts have long since struck down legalized segregation, but past attempts to strip the offensive phrases have failed. Even though no organized opposition to the measure has emerged this time, some worry that conservative backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement could quash the proposal, which qualified for the ballot months before the nationwide demonstrations that occurred in the wake of the police […]

LAST Wednesday, the Zimbabwe Elections Support Network (Zesn) hosted a virtual public meeting to discuss the topic The Suspension of By- Elections in Zimbabwe: A Necessity or an Affront on Constitutional Electoral Democracy? Guest Column:Zesn The panellists included high-level constitutional and electoral experts namely Pearl Matibe, Alex Magaisa, Ellen Shiriyedenga, Sithabile Dewa and Advocate Eric Matinenga. The meeting interrogated the legality of the indefinite suspension of by- elections and the implications of such a development on constitutional electoral democracy. Statutory Instrument 225A was instituted to suspend elections in Zimbabwe for an indefinite period, citing the need to protect citizens and election officials from the COVID-19 pandemic. This came after the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) had developed and published its COVID-19 policy on electoral activities which was also followed by an announcement on tentative dates for the by-elections. Panellists were in agreement that the suspension of the by-elections is illegal since it is unconstitutional and a breach of the law. Magaisa noted that the Constitution is the supreme law of the country, and any law that is inconsistent with it is void to the extent of its inconsistencies. Section 158(3) of the Constitution states that polling in by-elections to fill vacancies in Parliament and local authorities must take place within 90 days after the vacancies occurred, unless the vacancies occur within nine months before a general election. It was also noted that SI 225A is a regulation which is sub-legislation, therefore, cannot be used to make any amendments to the Constitution, neither can it be used to suppress fundamental freedoms and rights. Shiriyedenga noted that Statutory Instrument 225A of 2020 stifles democracy, and hinders the rights of Zimbabweans to express themselves politically. She cited the example of a ward in Chiredzi which has had no representative since January 2020. This, according to her, is an affront to democracy as it interferes with the right of the people to be represented. Panellists also cited Section 134 of the Constitution which states that statutory instruments must not infringe or limit any of the rights and freedoms set out in the Declaration of Rights. Asked about the implications of the Statutory Instrument on the independence of the Zec, Magaisa was of the opinion that this piece of legislation has further compromised the effectiveness of the election management body. He blamed the Zec for being inconsistent with its mandate at times, which has opened it to mistrust and ridicule. He noted that the Zec must be in a position to safeguard the electoral space and should be more professional and impartial. Magaisa applauded Zec for coming up with the COVID-19 regulations to enable the conduct of elections, and then expressed disappointment with it for the subsequent regression from that progress by supporting the Statutory Instrument 225A. He noted that this was a gross disregard of the Constitution and demonstrated dou
