Description
Tucked in an nondescript compound in Nairobi, in warehouses guarded by armed men, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) employees are busy sorting and moving ballots ahead of the August 9 presidential election. Kenyans are to be registered using biometric equipment, identification at the polling station and the transmission of results will also be electronic. The registration of voters via mobile biometric kits has boosted the number of registered voters from 14.3 million in 2013 to 19.6 million in 2017 and 22.1 million this year, in what is unanimously recognised as a major democratic advance. The votes themselves will still be cast using traditional ballot papers. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
