You got it..  ...had just found out the same..polling center and station. Hii englis... Someone should go to court 'because of excess kits' because there are 19.5 m voters'. Is it possible that the excess ballots will vote via this idle capacity?  I care!

So if these kits fail (which they will), what is the exact procedure to be followed? IEBC does not clarify anywhere. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

With 700 voters per station voting should end on time and counting also might be through by 9pm.
This is what I can't understand! Last time in my polling station we were in the thousands. I was on the queue by 6am and voted towards midday. Where are the other polling stations located after the split(to limit to 700 voters)?  My understanding of the per station is the stream where one will vote is considered a polling station.So for example Nairobi Primary School polling station will have 20 of this gadgets for 700 × 20 people which will be 14000 voters.There are 41000 polling stations and 41000 gadgets. I don't understand how this works. On average how long does it take one person to vote inorder to allow 700 people to vote within the available time?

Every kit is locked to a specific polling station. In case of the kit failing to work, they shall replace within an hour. However there are those voters who cannot be identified by BVR (different from the kit failing). For these ones, a special form will have to be filled and witnessed by the agents. Like @kayhara said, we might know the winner by midnight polling day.

Give the gadgets a chance.I pray your hopelessness is in the kits only otherwise its a miserable life to be hopeless.

During the testing, the success rate was 98% so failing chances are there. In the worst case scenario, they will then resort to the manual register. Lets all be honest, this is a manual voting thingyy. The moment you get a flip chart paper sized 6 sets of ballots, tick them with a bic pen and you get your finger splashed with GV ink with a kasmall gadget identifying you and calling the thing digital voting is a misnomer. Any one who has ever done those Monkey surveys, that is the most basic of what a digital vote is.

I liked that unlike last time, there will be an IT guy on every polling station on standby to do basic troubleshooting in case of failure.

Depending on which part of Kenya, this is a soul in danger Sure. The most dangerous job on earth. You can imagine @alma the IT expert sent to bondo trying to trouble shoot the equipment while the "adopt a polling station" gang is baying for his blood saying he messed the kit to steal babas votes.
