Annan-led Panel of Eminent African Personalities is urging Kenya to adopt an electronic voting system for the 2012 elections.

A survey conducted on their behalf by South Consulting firm concludes that “electronic voter registration will enhance the integrity of the voting system and reduce the costs associated with manual registration and voting.”

“And because a national infrastructure to support e-registration and e-voting is in place, evidenced especially by use of mobile telephony and a broad GSM coverage, the Commission should embark on establishing an electronic system to support e-registration and e-voting for the 2012 General Election and before the interim Commission winds up its activities,” reads the report in part. --->>>
