I can say that only IEBC and its tech-partners can tell us what went wrong and better still if anyone took advantage of the failures.  However, from an academic perspective, I did a blog on what someone can do(risks exist) in the absence of the technology. Have a read  @

http://www.nation.co.ke/blogs/-/634/1737262/-/view/asBlogPost/-/hf9apa/-/index.html


I am sure that since we have a digital government in place,  we shall be more prepared for a digital election - if the human and political will allows.


walu.

nb: another hypothesis waiting to be tested: me thinks both leading political parties knew way in advance that the Tech will fail and perhaps both were relishing at the implications :-).

Dear Listers,

For me the main concern is integrity. We need to invest in integrity of systems and more importantly, of the people managing the systems - whether manual or electronic.

 where comparing the same document against itself and trying to base the case in hearsay from the uncommitted and unpaid agents.

The tallying and display system would then pick these values and do whatever it needs to do with them BUT at least the  previously "smsed" election results would be intact and easily available to be cross-checked/verified against the manual forms 34, whenever they arrive. At the moment, these forms34 could only be cross-checked against themselves in terms of have all or most of the agents  signed them?  If yes, results accepted and everyone is happy.

If YES, then everyone should be happier and those defeated concede and spare the country the drama and anxiety that goes with petitions.

>All am saying is that the manual system - with all its legal backing  - is prone to errors and loopholes as outlined in my earlier submission. A parallel system- the Results Transmission System is would greatly compliment this manual system (not replace it) and would have gone a long way in closing down  loopholes while increasing the acceptability of the results by the losers. The risks outlined are purely from an Information Systems Audit perspective and am sure Dismas Ongondi, the IT Director @IEBC who is also a Certified Info Systems Auditor will agree with most of them.

>@Brian - well said in your response to @Walu and also in the article. Ours is a manual voting system, and in 2013 some processes (voter registration and identification, results transmission and tallying) were enhanced (not replaced) by deploying technology. This technology failed (voter identification and RTS) on voting day thus removing the enhancement but, in my opinion, not affecting the integrity of the manual voting system. Others saw it differently, hence the petitions. Detailed Supreme Court judgement may shed light on this.

>@ Muraya - the high voter turn out in 2013 can be attributed to several factors, chief among them that it was a fresh register compiled only 3 months to the election. Chances are the people who registered intended to vote and even if one accounts for natural attrition, chances of well over 90% turnout should not raise any eyebrows. This was not the situation in 2002, 2007 and 2010 when an old register was updated but the dead over the years were never/rarely removed.

Not matter how much we may WANT the electronic system to have been there as a parallel verification system the truth (and the fact) is that RTS was merely for transmission of PROVISIONAL results (as clearly indicated in practically all official specifications for the RTS). As per the Supreme Court the real vote was the paper ballot count along with the various checks and balances.

>>>Nice piece on the technology and election processes.  But it misses one fundamental that most analysts, legal counsel and I dare say the Supreme court may have missed.  The fact that the Results Transmission System (RTS) is not just useful in "speeding-up" the announcement of results but its fundamental and more useful role is by acting as a PARALLEL verification mechanism.  
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>What this means is that once the tallying has been done and announced at the LOCAL Polling station, those very (Presidential) results are supposed to be instantly transmitted to the NATIONAL Level and thereof made public to the wider national community. In essence the "local" data is no longer just local but becomes "global", and any attempt to modify the same at a later stage,  by way of agreement, error or outright corruption will require a good amount of explanation. This is because what was Transmitted and displayed electronically is expected to match the physical election Forms 34 as they arrive at the National level, 2-3days later. 
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>Remember, just because all agents did sign the election documents (Form34) maybe good but it is not sufficient evidence that what was countersigned is indeed what was announced (each signatures has a price?).  It is much stronger and a better  check if what has been countersigned manually is cross-checked against another parallel system - the Results Transmission System. One may then ask, what if the RTS is also compromised? i.e. Agents collude with the Returning Officer to sends fictitious results instanteneously over the RTS?  This is unlikely to happen because as our outgoing President, Mwai Kibaki once rightly put it, you need Intelligence to rig elections :-).  Most of this "intelligence" only occurs after a period of time (1-2-3days) later when 60-70-80% of the results at various polling stations is locally  known  but remains globally or nationally unkown (awaiting physical arrival of Form36) . It will not be very intelligeny to start
 rigging an election, when you are yet to gather the general trend(intelligence) of the results since one can easily over-rig and get caught :-). So you can bet your salary that instantly transmitted results are likely to be more reliable/correct results as compared to the physical ones that will arrive 3days later. 
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>Put differently "instantaneous" transmission of  results at the polling stations distributes widely what is otherwise "local" knowledge and DENIES potential election riggers the opportunity and the time to leverage on this type of intelligence. The Results Transmission System ensures that no single candidate enjoys the monopoly of local knowledge (Results at  Polling Station that are not yet in the national public domain) and thus eliminates the temptation to abuse the same to their advantage. Knowledge is indeed power and local knowledge is even more powerful - I should add.  If politician's Agents knew that Polling results were no longer "local" but widely known across the country - courtesy of the instantaneous Results Transmission System - then the temptation to sign against fictitious/edited result figures will be greatly reduced.  Indeed this fact alone, will diminish any Politician's desire to even begin to compromise Agents at the Polling
 station since it is futile to do so upon knowing that the Results are already "out and about" in the public domain.
