Building for 2027. We're looking for partners:

Observer groups who want verified evidence from the field
Newsrooms who need results they can check on election night
Researchers who want clean data after the vote

DMs open.

7 October: Angaza won the Justice & Accountability Award at the Summit on People-Centred Technologies in Africa.

What it says to us: verifiable election evidence is a justice issue, not just a tech project.

Next: 2027.

Result: nobody can quietly swap the photo. Not a hacker, not a party, not us.

Anyone can regenerate the fingerprint and check it against the public record.

Contributors stay anonymous. The evidence stays public.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

1. A contributor photographs the results posted at the station.
2. Angaza creates a digital fingerprint of the photo. Change one pixel and the fingerprint changes.
3. The photo goes to decentralised storage, not a server we control.
4. The fingerprint is written to the blockchain

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

How do you prove a photo of a polling station results form hasn't been changed?

Here's how Angaza does it, in plain terms:

@davidamunga_ Joining on this..
Open for a conversation?

We're publishing it because an election-integrity project should meet the standard it asks of others: show the evidence.

Full report: https://t.co/FKnJedLjr5

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

The numbers:

~180 polling station images
13 stations anchored on a public blockchain
~9% coverage
Within 2 percentage points of the official IEBC result

[Collins Hillary @HillaryCollns]

Election integrity isn't just about observing an election or reporting numbers. It's about being able to show how those numbers were arrived at, what evidence supports them, and where the process can improve.

Read the report.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

Our public report on the Ol Kalou by-election is out.

What we did, what the evidence showed, what didn't work, and what changes for 2027.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

9% of polling stations.
Within 2 percentage points of the official IEBC result.

Not a replacement for the official tally. An independent check on it.

When they match, trust goes up. When they don't, there's evidence to ask why.

Full report out Wednesday.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

We're Angaza Innovation Lab.

We build tools that let Kenyans check election results for themselves. Polling-station evidence, verified and anchored so it can't be quietly changed.

First test: Ol Kalou by-election, July 2026. Our results came within 2 points of the IEBC tally.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

Ol Kalou by-election, 16 July 2026. Angaza's first live test, alongside ELOG.

~180 polling station images
13 stations anchored on a public blockchain
~9% coverage

Small sample, full chain tested: polling station → verification → public record nobody can change.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

We're publishing the full public report on the Ol Kalou by-election.

The numbers, how the evidence held up, what didn't work, and what it means for 2027.

Out Wednesday, 4 November.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

2017: Supreme Court annuls a presidential election.
2022: The result is challenged in court again.

Both times the question was the same: what did the polling station forms say, and can anyone prove it?

Angaza exists to answer that with evidence anyone can check.

[Collins Hillary @HillaryCollns]

Angaza now has its own home. Follow @angazalab for Ol Kalou, the public report (out next week) and the road to 2027.
