The essentials
Open a topic for a concise explanation.
01WHAT IS MEASUREDOpinions recorded on this platform
Counts represent preferences submitted by participants in a listed race. They describe participation here, not the views of every voter or resident.
02RECORDINGA preference is counted after it is accepted
Participants choose a race and candidate. Where phone verification is enabled, a one-time code is used to confirm the phone before the opinion is recorded.
03READING RESULTSCompare candidates within the same race
Vote totals and shares are snapshots of recorded opinions for that race. Rankings can change as new opinions are recorded; a larger share is not a forecast of an election result.
04TRENDINGActivity is not popularity or a prediction
Trending views highlight recent participation on Uchaguzi Sasa. They do not measure the full electorate and should not be read as a likely winner or election-day outcome.
05LIMITATIONSThe data is not a representative survey
Participation is voluntary and may not reflect the composition of the electorate. Results are unofficial public opinion information, not IEBC figures or certified tallies.
06PRIVACYPersonal information is not a public result
Public charts show aggregate opinion information. See the Privacy Policy for how personal information is handled.
