contents We investigate the coarsening dynamics of a simplified version of the persistent voter model in which an agent can become a zealot -- i.e. resistent to change opinion -- at each step, based on interactions with its nearest neighbors. We show that such a model captures the main features of the original, non-Markovian, persistent voter model. We derive the governing equations for the one-point and two-point correlation functions. As these equations do not form a closed set, we employ approximate closure schemes, whose validity was confirmed through numerical simulations. Analytical solutions to these equations are obtained and well agree with the numerical results.
