Dear Kictanet colleagues I am proposing we form a digital democracy team for the upcoming Kenyan elections. The 2013 elections are likely to be contentious. Of course we all pray that they will be safe and peaceful. Further however, these elections are going to use ICTs such as phones, computers, cell phones, SMS, radio, TV and other technologies at an unprecedented scale. It would be fascinating to find out what impact, positive and negative these technologies have. The kind of study I am envisioning will also increase accountability of polling officials. Who wants to work with me to develop a survey and collect data at their polling station? Perhaps we can use the kictanet secretariat, or a room in Jacaranda to coordinate our activities. Or perhaps google or some other company on this list will volunteer a room?
