Hi.

Great idea. Maybe we can plug into the Uchaguzi initiative which is providing an online platform to do this. The simulation for the platform is up at http://simulation.uchaguzi.co.ke The local chapter of the the StandBy TaskForce is providing training support for volunteers as well.

Kind regards,

Kivuva, so stoked you are in

Folks, if we could get about 10 or 20 of us, this could be very powerful. First of all, folks can report on how elections are going at their polling station. Second, we can keep track of hate speech from all sides. Further, we can discuss and monitor television shutdowns, twitter shutdowns, etc. Also, we can comment on how technology is used to transmit votes, and verify them.

The ideal situation is to have multiple people of different ethnicities.

Yours, Warigia

Dr. Warigia,

This is a brilliant idea. Count me in.

We pray to have peaceful elections. We hope the new IG will coordinate
with all security agents to maintain law and order. From the recent
nominations, its clear that we still have people not keen on
maintaining the peace.
Regards
