Kenya Election AI Tally

This is project uses AI and crowdsourcing to tally election results for the recent presidential elections done in August 2022 in Kenya.

The way elections work is, there are 46,229 polling centers where elections take place. After the voting period ends (typically around 5 pm on election day) the polling station officials commence counting votes.

They then record the tally manually on a physical form. This form is referred to as Form 34A.

The forms are then uploaded to a  public portal where anyone can download and view them.

This project uses AI to read the Form 34As, extract the tally from the handwritten digits.

To verify that the tally is correct the project uses crowdsourcing, where anyone can view the forms and correct values or approve them on the website.

For a more detailed explanation of the project see this blog post.
