Possible fraud in Gurué

One of the repeated frauds in Mozambican elections is invalidating opposition votes, usually by putting an extra mark on them, but sometimes simply switching valid votes into the invalid pile. The normal level of invalid votes is about 3%. In Gurué the level was 6%. Of 67 polling station,9 polling stations had more than 10% invalid votes. The highest was 410506A at Aerodromo primary school, with 21% invalid – highly unlikely. In adjoining polling stations at EPC Contap, polling station 410102 had 2% invalid, while the next polling station 410101 had 14%. That is also highly unlikely.

The difference between Frelimo and MDM is large enough that the invalid votes would not make a difference to the outcome. But these numbers are an indication of misconduct.
