[kictanet] Kenya Elections: Voters and Data Privacy, Which Party are You In?

Fri Feb 11 06:37:57 EAT 2022

Interesting. I have two searches on record on eCitizen, one in June 2021
that shows I was not registered to any party, and another that I did this
morning showing that I was registered in May 2021 as a member of UDA.
Either time travel is real or there are no real checks and balances on the
system...
Before I launch into a diatribe about bottom-up economics, I think this
page should have a 'Report fraudulent registration' button, otherwise
there's no visible means for me as a user to communicate to the Registrar
of Political Parties.
Or I could just launch a campaign on a UDA ticket. This may actually be
easier.
