In systems development, it is a good idea to pre-test the new system in the real environment before going live. IEBC carried out the mock elections just about a week to the main elections. Unless they have a damn good overriding reason for the timing, i feel this came a little too late. Reason being, there will be very little time, if at all, to correct the flaws that were discovered from the mock election. Can someone please enlighten me as to why the mock elections were carried out so late?

and this where it gets tricky for the presidential tally most jubilee zones have very high numbers thus counting will take longer .kiambu and meru combined can evaporate a 1.5 million lead counted on polling day in 7 counties!

And I realized there are people with a serious problem with color identification. They could not differentiate between the county rep and the presidential boxes! Color blind?

there some zones particularly ukambani people are being told "weka raila tick na uhuru X kwa sababu humtaki"
also same applies to certain gubernatorial contests in certain areas.

expect many spoiled votes due to misinformation.smile

....now that is ignorance right there, IEBC allocated polling stations based on the distribution of the votes, a denseley populated area has more polling stations!!!
