[kictanet] Wardless registration & the diaspora

[robert yawe]

Dennis,

You still do not explain how the same cannot be done with voters in the diaspora who will be able to register to vote in any constituency of their choice while still sitting pretty in the USA.

We are creating grounds for petitioning the results of the next election by having too many variables for a few equations.

Regards

I think the main reason why the IEBC is preventing voters from registering at a certain location remotely is to prevent voter buying, a rampant practice in past elections. This can be especially the case in counties with 2 major clans or communities
