This is the best summary I could come up with:
The main contest is expected to be between President Emmerson Mnangagwa, 80, who is nicknamed "The Crocodile", and 45-year-old opposition leader Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Runaway inflation, currency shortages and high levels of unemployment have continued to challenge Mr Mnangagwa's current government.
Political analysts say the ZANU-PF party has an unfair advantage, as it wields control over the police and other key institutions.
"The electoral playing field is heavily skewed in favour of the ruling party, which has used state institutions to close the democratic space," Africa Risk Consulting, a private firm, said in a pre-election note.
In May, it then introduced a digital currency with "tokens" backed by gold reserves that can be transferred between people and businesses as a form of payment.
Zimbabwe has a long history of allegedly rigging and disputing the outcome of polls, which has led to violent protests and challenges to election results.
