Wafula Chebukati, Chairman of the IEBC, requests that all voters do the following.

Kenyans will elect a new set of officials, from the President to members of the County Assembly, on Tuesday in what promises to be a historic transition election. Given the historical significance of this election, a successful election is critical to a smooth transition.

The electoral body that has been diligently educating Kenyans about campaigns and the entire voting process that will be done throughout the country on Tuesday, August 9th, has published sample papers to give Kenyans a preview of what the ballot papers will look like. We discovered that the vote papers for each elective seat had different colors from a collage shot released on the electoral body’s official Facebook page.

The ballot for the President, as seen above, will be white, while those for the Governor, Senator, and Woman Representative will be colored differently. The ballots for Members of Parliament/National Assembly (MP) and County Assembly (MCA) will be green and yellow, respectively.

The populace is already dealing with a slew of issues, the majority of which are related to the cost of living. A protracted election cycle will only make matters worse for them.

In order for Kenyans to resume their normal routines, including returning their children to school, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission must ensure that the results of all six elections are communicated quickly. Election results vary. There will be both winners and losers.

When everyone on the team recognizes this obvious truth, elections cease to be life-or-death contests. Even losers understand that they will try again tomorrow and should view their mistakes as learning experiences.
