According to the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has been alleged to have opened ballot boxes without the presence of agents and in the absence of a court order.
The CCC has shared screenshots, claiming that these were sent to their polling agents with the intention of persuading them to sign new V11 forms

You have consistently denied summoning polling officers to the command center for the signing of new V.11 forms. However, to expose your dishonesty, our team was deployed this afternoon to Nyika, where they witnessed the opening of ballot boxes in the absence of agents and without a court order.
ZEC Denies Recalling Polling Officers, Observers Over V11 Forms
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) recently expressed deep concern over false reports circulating on social media regarding the recall of election agents and observers to sign new V11 forms.
In an official statement, the Commission denies these claims and clarified the role and handling of polling station returns (V11 forms) in the electoral process.
The Commission urged the public to rely on verified sources and official announcements for accurate information regarding election proceedings.
In a statement, ZEC said,
False Reports on Polling Station Returns ( V11 Forms)
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) notes with concern reports circulating on social media to the effect that election agents and observers are being re-called to sign new V.11 result forms. The Commission would like to inform the public that the said reports are false.
The polling station returns (V.11 forms) form part of election residue and copies are sealed in ballot boxes soon after the counting of ballots is completed at the polling station.
