Overview

This analysis reviews electoral technology laws' compliance with constitutional requirements, highlighting gaps in voter verifiability in Kenya.

Key Points

  • Electoral integrity is essential for democracy, yet Kenya's electoral laws face significant compliance issues.
  • The Elections Act of 2011 struggles to ensure transparency and verifiability, complicating vote traceability.
  • Analysis draws on election disputes from 2013, 2017, and 2022, revealing systemic flaws in the legal framework.
  • Calls for reform improve alignment of electoral laws with constitutional mandates to restore public trust.
