...I will get mine and vote. This time round I am better prepared. I will either be in The Rift Valley or Kisumu. Let anybody dare me and I will fell them like trees... (Just kidding). ...but if there is rigging, I will have no choice.

More than half of the current MP's were not voted in by the majority. Many of them actually rigged their way there. The whole damn process is full of loopholes and abuse that leaves many people disatisfied. I wont waste my time again

No. I will skip this round. I intend to register anytime after 2012, if there still will be a Kenya.

Voting is the most critical civic duty for any responsible citizen.

Failing to vote has far reaching implications. And now, these implications will increase three fold with the expected enactment of the new constitution.

Each and every single vote counts towards creating representative local and regional and national governments as well as representative opposition.

Think of transparency, accountability, justice, education, health, housing, roads, etc and connect them back to your vote.

I will certainly register and I will certainly vote.

Its hypocrisy of the highest order to not register and then come here and whine endlessly about politicians

Njung'e and Company; The kind of picture emerging from Starehe vote recount is a sample of what happened and what will happen in all constituencies. So...

Some of this situations turn out to be history in the making and you don't want the future generations to come and look at this events and say .... "I wish they could have made the right decision"

The only reason people are able to rig is because there are not enough voters to set vote difference to "unriggable" levels... assuming we all hate kibaki and he runs for presidency in 2012 and 8million say no only 2 million say yes, do you think he will be able to rig 6.2 million votes to be declared winner? (this is an extreme case but hey, it makes a difference....) tell us how your not voting will stop people from being killed?

I think voting is boring.....it's trouble either way you look at it.Plus now.....who would I vote for among all those thieves? And we all know who the line up will include (wote ni wezi).

Its just one of those things I will have to do....not for the love....but because it's a duty come 2012.

"Voting patterns in America are keenly analysed statistics by party officials. In 1996 the turn out at the general election was 49% which was the lowest turn out since 1924. This was despite a record of 13 million new voters registering to vote in 1992. (Total voters 1996: 196,511,000)"

== http://www.historylearni...patterns_in_america.htm

Voter turn out in the US for the last 6 elections.

1998 = 36.4% George H. W. Bush won
2000 = 51.3% Bill Clinton won
2002 = 37.0% Bill Clinton won
2004 = 55.3% George W. Bush won
2006 = 37.1% George W. Bush won
2008 = 56.8% Barack Obama won

== http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781453.html


My point: The outcome of an election may or may not depend on the voter turn-out.

I voted for the first time in the 2007 elections. Kenyans fought, Kenyans died, politicians rigged massively and the brawling over the elections continues 3 years on. Why bother again? Sad
