Now the speed depends on how learned.....lol, shule does not fast track the process, you have to vote for 6 people, yeah voting might take longer than expected, but that 'expert's analysis is hogwash to me.

I feel we may need another day, but the way it is handled is very important, we dont want it used as an excuse to stuff ballots or start violence.


It's not about feelings!

The numbers have been worked out and there will be enough time for everyone to vote between 6am and 5pm. The arrival rates of voters follow the common Poisson distribution and that is why IEBC expects a few people to be remaining in the queue after 5pm. But the issue of extending to the next day does not arise at all... unless there are logistics hick-ups in delivering election materials to polling stations.

Remember how people were saying that 30 days are not enough to register 18m voters. In the end, only 14m registered, not because there wasn't enough time, but because many people did not deem it important enough and so they forgot to show up!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Voters have no idea the size of the ballot papers in some constituencies and counties.

Take Nairobi for example:
Governor: 10 Candidates
Senator: 9 Candidates
W Rep: 12 Candidates
MP: Range 10-17 Candidates depending on constituency
County Rep: 8-18 depending on the Ward

The human psychology works in mysterious ways; You will find that most voters even though they know who their preferred candidate is: will go through the entire booklet ballot just to check who the hell are the other candidates:

You are such a pessimist and alarmist, only 3 constituencies have more than 10 candidates in Nairobi, others have as little as 5!!!!!
