We would like to set the record straight over the recent misleading and alarming reports on IEBC’s post-election evaluation: 1. The Post-election evaluation is an integral component of an electoral cycle and is a best practice for any forward-looking Electoral Management Body (EMB). 2. Following the March 4, 2013 General Elections, the post-election evaluation has been on-going and is yet to be finalized. This is within the timelines set out by international best practices which require post-election evaluation to be carried out 15 to 25 months after the elections. 3. In the 2013 General Elections, the Commission used one Principal Voters Register (comprising of voters with biometrics and without biometrics). It was accurate, complete and reliable. 4. The Commission has never asked for a Commission of Inquiry into the Results Transmission System. 5. The sentiments captured by sections of the media are drawn from the various internal and external stakeholder post-election stakeholders forums organized by the Commission. They are deemed to be individual views, opinions, complaints and matters canvassed during election petitions which are not necessarily factual. 6. The Commission will publish and disseminate the post-election evaluation report to all its key stakeholders, including media, once it is finalized and adopted.
