Kenya's 2007 Presidential Election was a turning point that raised questions about election integrity, spurring the government to implement new technologies to improve voter identification and transparency in future elections.
The aftermath of the 2007 elections resulted in the loss of over 1,000 lives and displacement of over 600,000 people, highlighting the dire consequences of electoral violence and corruption.
In response to post-election violence, many democracies are now integrating technology, including biometric systems, to bolster voter verification and combat potential fraud in electoral processes.
Despite promises of enhanced security and transparency via technology in elections, these systems carry risks including manipulation, abuse, and technical failures that could destabilize democratic processes.
