<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Mr. Bowman,</div><div>Thanks for the document on e-voting. It will help me with my paper, which I am putting together for my Parliamentary Committee to consider. IIEC executives and I went to Nebraska early in the year to have a glance at the system they use in their regular voting process. </div><div><br></div><div>As a hardware designer, I was very impressed with their card reader equipment robustness. We shake - and - bake tested the equipment and did not notice any failure. I was convinced that Kenya as a country where contestants run a way with ballot papers, when they are losing the contest, would be a good candidate for electronic registration and voting.</div><div><br></div><div>I will avail the paper for scrutiny once it is released by parliament.</div><div><br></div><div>Hon.

<div>I am very impressed by the IIEC and the handling of the referendum. Here is a good article on best practices for electronic voting. It builds from the american and australian experience. </div>

<div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Wash, the law has to be amended to remove legal exposures to e-Voting. Especially the confirmation of the result which has to be done on a “signed” Form 16A assuming physical nature of the form. I am not sure how this is affected by the new constitution. Having said that the IIEC has this on top of their agenda, so I suspect come 2012, e-Voting will be in place. I think its in order to congratulate the IIEC and especially their Tech team.<br>
