We have the technology to transfer money over the phone M-Pesa. What is so difficult about elections that we cannot have an M-Kura?

What are the issues that would need to be worked out to make it possible?

Is there a legislator here who can make the necessary laws to make this a possibility in 2022?

Number of registered voters by Dec. 2016 - 16 million

M-Pesa active users by Apr. 2016 - 19 million

Number of Kenyans with IDs - 25 million

Granted some of the M-pesa accounts are businesses and people with multiple accounts but still that is a really good database right there with all the identity verifications already done.

You are not the only person who asks this question every election year. I invite you to search through this forum for answers given to this exact question asked since 2012. Last person to ask it was Swenani

It would simply kill the thrill that goes with the voting process. Not interested...

Ata mimi sijawahi elewa kwanini tusifaye kura kwa simu. It is not that complicated, but last i heard about this discussion is that not every eligible voter has a phone... bla bla. Lakini ni excuse tu

If a blackout happens for 4 days as often happens in some shags area, all the technos lose charge to the point of having to be boosted by a universal charger e.t.c, some people will cry "no peace" and declare it stealing. People would have been voting by posta ages ago if it were convenience that mattered. NO ONE on earth can design a "technology" to manage an election, never ever, some things can only be done by humans, like analyzing a "computer error", the system can never analyse itself ever, hata AI ama sijui deep blue which can play chess with a human cannot do something that simple incidentally. So opportunities for major conflict.

That argument doesn't hold. The granny can be helped. That every eligible voter doesn't have a phone can also be solved easily. I am sure even the politicians can buy phones for these people instead of the 1k handouts
