Electoral Reforms

What was promised after the 2022 General Election, what Parliament and the IEBC have actually done about it, and how much of the electoral cycle is left.

Where we are in the cycle

One electoral cycle, from the last General Election to the next. The point of this strip is the gap in the middle: Parliament's own oversight committee has said electoral law should be enacted at least two years before a poll, and that date has already passed with reform bills still unfinished.

Kenya's electoral cycle, August 2022 to August 2027, with the reform milestones recorded so far.

The reform commitments, by what has happened to them

Counts of commitments, not a completion score. A single percentage would treat reconstituting the IEBC and filing a set of regulations as the same size of thing, and Parliament's record cannot carry that claim. Each figure opens the commitments behind it.

0 commitments tracked, 0 of them past a deadline, drawn from 0 dated entries in Parliament's own stage record. See the full roadmap.

Progress by theme

The same commitments, split by the part of the electoral system they touch. A theme where the whole bar is one colour is a theme where nothing is moving.

What moved most recently

The latest dated step Parliament recorded against each commitment. This is a fact from the stage record, not a judgement about progress.
