@iebckenya: The Commission’s attention has been drawn to media reports to the effect that the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 seeksto scrap live streaming of poll results, ban live broadcast of poll results and return the voting system to manual voter identification and transmission of poll results akin to what was used in the 2007 General Election. The Commission wishes to state as follows: 1. The media reports are erroneous and a misrepresentation of the Bill as tabled before Parliament. 2. The Bill does not in any way propose amendment to Section 44 of the Elections Act that provides for the deployment of an Integrated Elections Management System for voter registration, voter identification and results transmission. Instead, it proposes a complementary mechanism for result transmission to address instances where transmission of results is not possible owing to lack of 3G network which is the minimum standard required for transmission of result Forms.
