[kictanet] Invitation to Participate in ' Talk to IEBC'

[muthiru wangechi]

Hi Benson and listers, 

I find downloading a document with the full list of political candidates tedious. 
Open cities lab in collaboration with African Uncensored recently launched a website that enables you to identify the candidates in their respective area of contest/polling station starting from the president to the MCA position  https://mycandidate-kenya.opencitieslab.org

Regards,
Tabitha.

We would also see less violence and voter movement, suspicions, long lines, etc. on D-Day.

I know this will not be possible for this year, but IEBC will have another five years within which this app can be developed (security features, authentication, etc) and tested.
