    About KenyaTally

    Kenya's Democracy
    Deserves Better Data.

    KenyaTally is an independent, non-partisan election data and analysis platform built for Kenya. We believe that transparent, accessible electoral data strengthens democracy — and that every Kenyan deserves to understand their own elections.

    Secondary Source Disclaimer

    KenyaTally is a secondary source for election results. We do not authorize, announce, or declare any election results. We display only what the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has officially published. Our predictions are generated from aggregated polls and may not reflect actual electoral outcomes.

    Our Mission

    Transparency at the
    heart of democracy

    Kenya has conducted multiparty elections since 1992. Yet comprehensive, machine-readable election data at all administrative levels has historically been difficult to access. IEBC releases results in formats unsuitable for analysis. Historical data is scattered across gazette notices, court records, and physical archives.

    KenyaTally was created to change this. We collect, clean, normalize, and publish election data in accessible, interactive formats — so that voters, journalists, researchers, civil society, and even political parties can understand Kenya's electoral landscape.

    We cover presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, women's representative, and parliamentary elections. We track every county, every constituency, every ward. Our goal is nothing less than a complete, accurate picture of Kenya's democratic history — and a trusted live resource for every election to come.

    Beyond historical data, KenyaTally conducts independent opinion polls to track voter sentiment ahead of elections. Our polls are methodologically rigorous, transparent, and prioritized in our aggregations alongside data from Kenya's leading polling firms.

    Independence

    KenyaTally is not affiliated with any political party, government body, or partisan organization. Our funding comes from subscriptions, grants, and non-partisan donors.

    Accuracy

    Every data point is cross-referenced against at least two independent sources before publication. We publish corrections prominently when errors are found.

    Accessibility

    Election data belongs to all Kenyans. Our core platform is free to access. We support Swahili and English interfaces and low-bandwidth modes.

    Transparency

    We publish our full methodology, data sources, and any known limitations. Uncertainty is labeled, not hidden. Our code is open-source where possible.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions

    Everything you need to know about how we collect, verify, and publish Kenya's electoral data.

    01

    Where does your election data come from?

    All official results come directly from the IEBC official forms portal (forms.iebc.or.ke), IEBC tallying sheets, and official announcements. We do not publish unverified figures. For historical elections, we additionally cross-reference against Kenya Gazette notices and the ECK's published results.

    02

    How do you ensure the polling data is accurate?

    We only include polls from firms with documented methodology and established track records in Kenya. Each poll is published with its full methodological details — pollster, sample size, margin of error, fieldwork dates, and geographic coverage.

    03

    Are your predictions reliable?

    Our predictions are generated from aggregated polling data and statistical models. They represent what candidates might expect based on current polling trends — they are not guarantees of electoral outcomes. We always display the confidence interval and methodology for each prediction.

    04

    Can KenyaTally announce election results?

    No. KenyaTally is a secondary source and is not authorized to announce, declare, or certify any election results. We display only what the IEBC has officially published. Any predictions we show are clearly labeled as such and are not official results.

    05

    Is KenyaTally affiliated with any political party?

    No. We are strictly non-partisan and editorially independent. We do not endorse candidates or parties. Our editorial standards prohibit any form of political bias.

    06

    Can I use your data for research or journalism?

    Yes. Election data is in the public domain. You may freely use our data for non-commercial research, journalism, and civic purposes with attribution. Contact us for bulk exports or API access.

    07

    How do you handle ward and constituency boundaries?

    We use the official IEBC electoral boundary gazettements. Our geographic team maintains updated GeoJSON files aligned to current electoral units as officially delimited.

    08

    How can I report an error or inaccuracy?

    Email us at corrections@KenyaTally.com with the specific data point, what you believe is incorrect, and any supporting evidence. We review every submission and publish corrections within 24 hours if confirmed.
