>> Thanks for this. I have a question for you:-
>> Do you think two working days and a weekend is enough to comment and engage on such an important piece of legislation?
>> Please dissuade me from thinking that this is just a way of ticking a certain box called 'Public Participation'.
>> Let me elaborate. When the Ministry of ICT wanted public engagement  on the ICT Policy 2016 they engaged us and gave us ample time to discuss and give input.
>> Can the IEBC look at increasing this time? I'm aware that the elections are around the corner but surely let's do this right..

>> ' The Elections Laws (Amendment) act 2016 came into force on 4th October 2016. This legal amendment requires the Commission to develop a policy on the progressive use of technology in the electoral process and also make regulations for the adoption and implementation of technology in the electoral process. 
>> 
>> The Act further establishes an integrated electronic electoral system consisting of voter registration, voter identification and results transmission that shall be used in the next general election. The commission has already deployed several technologies that play significant role in the delivery of the commissions mandate, vision and mission. 
>> 
>> A clear ICT policy framework that allows the commission to progressively adopt ICTs in the electoral process has been drafted to govern the deployment of technologies in the Electoral process. The Commission in line with the amended Act has established an Elections Technical Advisory Committee to oversee the adoption of technology.\
>> 
>> The Committee is composed of technical industry players and other stakeholders. Its first meeting was held on Wednesday 26 October 2016. In line with the principle of public participation, the Commission is welcoming contributions on the proposed draft regulations on or before 31st October, 2106. '
