>  The
> Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) will hold a two-day
> conference
> and exhibition on election technology at the KICC grounds in Nairobi on
> 22nd-
> 23rd Sept., 2012. Over 40 firms dealing with election technology, both
> local
> and foreign, have been invited to showcase their innovations to the
> Commission
> and the public. Electoral management bodies from East African Community
> (EAC), professionals
> in electoral technology, political parties and other interested parties
> have
> also been invited to the open forum on election technology. Participants
> will
> be expected to interrogate and evaluate the solutions offered by the
> various
> vendors and share their findings with IIEC.
> The
> aim of the open day is to expose voters to election technology and give
> them an opportunity to 
> try out some of the solution on offer. In looking for the appropriate
> technology, the electoral management body would like to make informed
> decision
> based not only on expert advice but also the user experiences. It is
> apparent
> that the expanded 2012 general elections, which will require voters to
> vote for
> six elective positions in a single session instead of the traditional
> three, will
> require a fast and reliable solution.
> The
> appropriate application of technology should
> increase administrative efficiency, reduce long-term costs and enhance
> political transparency.Since technology is always designed to solve
> problems, and elections are not
> short of problems, technology is therefore first port of call by the
> Commission.
>
> We would be happy to have the ICT fraternity visiting and sharing with us
> their views.

> Welcome all,
