One has to stand, have their picture taken with ID on their chest, and lots of signatures.
As for IT systems - this is a manual election - so folks should not over invest in electronic part.

The ballot will be cast & counted manually, results form filled manually, taken to Nairobi manually, tallied manually, and those are final results.
I would spend more resources guarding the manual systems - ensuring casting, counting, transportation and calculation in Nairobi is rig proof.
