Not rocket science here ....Election API( provided by IEBC) + Registrar of persons data( by Govt) capable of that ID data registry generation ...... a 3rd element of matching ID #s to Cellphone #s is possibly due data breach from a Telco data responsible for the phone #s ( most likely 3rd party Telco partners)
Big Data analysis can only responsible for metadata that can be inferred from social media and there is no mention of that....

However its encouraging to learn that now data is is being used to drive intelligent targeting of potentials voters...only if the data Privacy protocol is observed and also in observance of our constitutional right of choice....

Blessed Sunday all.

"It appears that all ID numbers from perceived Jubilee strongholds have been run through the IEBC voters register to find out their registration status. The chiefs have been issued with sheets of papers containing mobile numbers of all residents within their locations and sub locations who are not registered. 

“We got this data from the registrar of persons and the brief to the chiefs was to ascertain whether these people are registered. I don’t see anything wrong with that. We are not coercing anybody to register,” Sosio said. He added: “I don’t know whether the same is taking place in other counties but as you know, homes are run differently and this is how we have chosen to do it in Nyeri.”
