Am not so sure that the system was a success. Over one third of polling stations failed to transmit electronically for various reasons including poor network (5,964 failed of a total of 20,750 polling stations). This would be chaos for a general election.

Listers,

I hope the success is 'Institutionalised' and  is not a sporadic wave as has been the case before :-), this is the only way it can be replicated, otherwise thumbs up to the IIEC and all who made it possible for the referendum to succeed.

Best Regards

I am joining in to say kudos too; I am totally amazed that all I needed to
do (from Cape Town) was to access the Nation Media and website and view
live results being relayed from the polling stations.

Congratulations to all those that made this 'miracle' possible.  One more
reason that makes me very proud of Kenya and ICT.
