Kenya's electoral body walked through what goes down after polls shut and explained how ballots get handled from counting to final results. Presiding officers crack open the boxes while everyone watches and sort votes into piles before tallying them out loud. Staff record everything on Form 35A and snap photos to upload through the biometric system before physical papers head to constituency centers under security escort.
The forms get posted on polling station doors so people can verify numbers, and agents grab copies for themselves. Results pop up on the commission portal after transmission. Constituency officers compare uploaded data with hard copies to prep final tallies and declare winners for local races, while bigger contests move to national-level processing. Candidates who feel salty about outcomes can lodge complaints through official channels or take it to court.
