In my view: Limiting requests per IP address would obviously lock out many users. Implementing cookies et al to limit to one query per day would also lock out several legitimate users (e.g. those who share PCs at cybers). Introducing a username/password combo made out of perhaps the birth-date would complicate matters for the average voter.</div><div><br></div><div>I think the only legitimate options they have to prevent abuse/mass mining of this information is to implement a service like Cloudflare on the subdomain. This would at least stop a repetitive CURL request in its tracks or at least severely slow it down. Nevertheless, a quick IP ping shows that it appears as though the subdomain <a href="http://voterstatus.iebc.or.ke" target="_blank">voterstatus.iebc.or.ke</a> is running on Google Cloud servers which offer similar services as Cloudflare these days. I trust the good people at IEBC have explored these services.</div><div><br></div><div>Let's brainstorm.
