About 5.5 million people are registered to vote in the southern African nation, which is anxious for change after economic and political paralysis during the nearly four-decade rule of 94-year-old Mr Mugabe who was ousted in a military coup.
Thousands of election monitors have fanned out across the country to observe a process that the opposition says is biased against them, despite assurances from the electoral commission.
The two main contenders are 75-year-old president Emmerson Mnangagwe, a former deputy president who took over after Mr Mugabe stepped down last year, and 40-year-old Nelson Chamisa, a lawyer and pastor who became head of the main opposition party a few months ago.
