Transmitting results electronically is also fraught with grave risks

 

 

Comprehensive Technical Electoral Strategy (CTES) draws a number of application levels, which are an expression of the most vital keystones of legitimacy of an election that is driven by public confidence in the resulting structures of democratic governance. These factors largely depend on the actual and perceived integrity of the electoral process – that must be acceptable by all parties involved.

Unless I am wrong, Kenya for instance, lacks an Electoral Integrity Portfolio (EIP) with key principles that can technologically identify technology-enabled fraud, systemic malpractice and create resolutions to them. Neither does Kenyan electoral commission (IEBC) have technological support systems, which can by terms of immediacy effectively and fairly investigate and arbitration processes that are run by external players like an independent network service providers.
