Kenyan elections are some of <br>
the most expensive, using funds that could go to development purposes.<br>
b) It would be great if information is available in accessible formats, <br>
some effort is required to convert pdf tables to csv files that can be <br>
more easily analyzed using computer programs.<br>
c) Information available in Kiswahili, in particular on the IEBC website.<br>
d) For voter education, summaries of the requirements and <br>
responsibilities associated to each elected position.<br>
