" <-- that is called voter registration! you decide where you want to vote and instruct the EMB to facilitate your voting. this information is not part of the civil register as you know - it is given to an independent body called the EMB (at least in english speaking countries). Who told you that digital voting in whatever means it takes does not require planning? if it takes 3 minutes for a person to identify themselves and select all the candidates they are voting for and finish - how many people can one machine facilitate until the end of closing? how many machines will you need to facilitate people voting until the end of voting? you see you are very pedestrian in the way you view elections - you just show up and vote and then wonder what the EMB has been doing for five years have literally no clue of how much planning and effort facilitated your choice to vote! halafu when your candidate loses you walk out saying IEBC stole... oh... like they have time to plan to steal when organising an operation of around 200k people to facilitate kenyans to vote. pedestrian thoughts my friend pedestrian!! ungekuwa karibu ningekupiga ile kofi ya shedef kwa kisogo!

With digital voting I dont think the turnout should affect planning in a great way Na ballots? Is there a country that has eliminated the need of ballots completely for the digital? A few countries have done it but some have even rolled back to 'manual' because of one thing - confidence over the systems in use! the UN declaration of human rights states that Quote:The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures. so elections have to be 1. periodic 2. genuine 3. offer equal suffrage 4. secret 5. free the question of digital voting is this - is it 'secret'? how sure am I that people cannot deduce that I actually voted for this guy? is it 'genuine' i.e. does my vote count? were the counted votes really votes that were from real/qualified people? while it can be argued that these systems work and they do work the question is - how much 'insider' knowledge and skillsets does it to without a doubt trust that the process worked i.e. that you voted and that your vote was counted as it was required and that only votes by eligible people were counted!! should we just agree that? do we have an idolatry with efficient systems that sacrifice transparency at the alter of efficiency? should efficiency be pursued at any cost? Does our embrace of technology put knowledge, power, and control into the hands of a few i.e. the few who can actually assure themselves that the thing works as required? while doing that control may pass from the many to the few who have that special knowledge required to understand and evaluate whether there are adequate safeguards to ensure fairness and accuracy. Elections are not just elections for the sake of elections - Elections must be fair and must be seen and demonstrated to be fair! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
