[kictanet] Request for information on technology deployment during elections

[Grace Githaiga]

Listers




We hope that you have and continue to perform your civic duty.




In today's elections, technology systems deployment is at three
levels:







a) Voters were registered using the Biometric Voter Registration
system (BVR).



b) At the polling centres, voters will be identified at first instance
using Electronic Voter Identification system (EVID).



c) After votes are counted, results will be transmitted using the
Results Transmission System (RTS).






Note: The EVID and the RTS is the SAME system. The tablet for
identifying voters is the SAME tablet for scanning and transmitting
results and which is referred to as the Integrated Elections
Management Systems (IEMS).



Apart from the above systems, the public will also access election
related information through communication systems, especially the
Internet.








KICTANet has been observing certain features on IEBC’s use of
technology, and other related aspects to access to information. 




KICTANet is today observing the use of the two systems (EVID and RTS).
The Network will additionally continue to observe access to election
information during the period.








We request your participation in this survey.




We provide a link to a document which we are using as a guide for
observers during the election. The guide covers five activities
namely: opening of the polling station and set up; voter
identification and assisted voters; vote counting procedures; tallying
procedures; and closing procedures.


Here is the link:

process.

As always, we highly appreciate your time and contribution. Asanteni
sana.
