Election evidence anyone can check. Before, during and after the vote. Justice & Accountability Award winner 2026. Home of Kaa Chonjo.

[Angaza Innovation Lab @angazalab]

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]

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:

[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

@davidamunga_ @HillaryCollns are you able to return the lat,long?

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

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]

The numbers:

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

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]

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.

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.

[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.
