Why Kenya Needs Blockchain Elections
Result Transmission
Challenge: Electronic result transmission failures have led to disputed elections and Supreme Court annulments.
Our Solution: Blockchain-based result recording eliminates transmission failures with mathematically verifiable, tamper-proof results.
Electoral Disputes
Challenge: Post-election violence and legal challenges have destabilized the country after disputed outcomes.
Our Solution: Real-time transparent counting eliminates disputes, with cryptographic proof of every vote available for independent verification.
IEBC Capacity
Challenge: The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission faces capacity and credibility challenges.
Our Solution: Technology-driven election administration reduces human error and provides transparent oversight tools.
Biometric Systems
Challenge: Existing biometric voter identification systems have experienced failures and inconsistencies.
Our Solution: Advanced biometric verification with fallback authentication, ensuring no voter is disenfranchised by technical issues.
Regional Disparities
Challenge: Vast infrastructure differences between urban Nairobi and rural/pastoral areas.
Our Solution: Mobile-first voting with offline capability and satellite synchronization for remote and pastoral communities.
Cost Pressures
Challenge: Elections cost billions of shillings, diverting resources from development priorities.
Our Solution: Reduce election costs by 50% while improving transparency and public confidence in outcomes.
