Indeed, the government shared services project(s) should learn from this!

folks,

i dont know about you but am totally blown away by the affordability and simplicity of the electronic  results system currently in use at Bomas.  I mean, think about it, a mobile phone of less than 30USD and an SMS message of less than 1USD and some piece software and you get results securely checked into a central server, tallied and and instantly relayed to the public.

This to me is eGovernance without the usual big budgets and subsequent failure that often accompanies ICT projects...more importantly I want to believe, this is the beginning of how elections will be conducted in future.

walu.
