Uchaguzi

Tuesday, July 27, 2010


The creative minds @Ushahidi have once again launced Uchaguzi, a technology platform that allows citizens and civil society to monitor and report incidences around the electoral process during the upcoming referendum on August 4th.

It provides web and mobile-based channels for citizens and civil society to report on electoral offences such as intimidation, hate speech, vote buying, polling clerk bias, voting misinformation etc. The reports are then sent to the electoral authorities or security personnel for action.

Anyone can report on these incidents during and after the referendum by sending a text message to 3018 (normal charges apply) or sending an email to reports@uchaguzi.co.ke or sending a tweet with the hash-tag #uchaguzi.

Uchaguzi is a collaborative action by The Constitution & Reform Education Consortium (CRECO), The Social Development Network (SODNET) and Uraia. It’s funded by HIVOS and Twaweza
