Every race the IEBC runs

One project, every ballot tier β€” each scoped to its own geography and reported on its own voting system.

Elections held in Kenya with their geographic scope and voting system.

Methodology

Election-system aware Decision Report

The voting system on each ballot decides the maths. The Decision Report reads which system applies and adapts β€” never one report stretched over every race.

RUNOFF
Runoff (50% threshold)
FPTP
First-past-the-post

Kenya runs six concurrent ballots on a single election day. All five legislative/county races are first-past-the-post per scope. The presidential race uses a two-part threshold (50% +1 nationally AND 25% in two-thirds of counties); the Decision Report flags whether the lead candidate satisfies both thresholds or lines up a runoff.

What we ship for Kenya

Country-specific capabilities

01

All 6 IEBC ballot tiers covered in a single project: one research project tracks presidential vote intent alongside MCA, MP, Senator, Governor, and Woman Rep races simultaneously.

02

County-spread analytics that surface whether the presidential lead clears the 25%-in-24-counties threshold (the constitutional barrier most often missed).

03

Two-tier geography matching IEBC's published register: county β†’ constituency β†’ ward, with operator-uploaded ward shapefiles.
