How ballot counts work
Candidate profiles show how many Chagua users picked that candidate when they built their ballot on My Ballot.
This is not a scientific opinion poll. People who use Chagua are not a random or representative sample of Kenyan voters, and the numbers are not weighted, so they cannot tell you who will win.
The figures right now
- Run by
- Chagua (chagua.co.ke). No candidate, party or outside organisation pays for or commissions these counts.
- People counted
- 2
- Choices counted
- 5 (across all races)
- Period
- 7 November 2026 to today (14 November 2026). Each voter's latest choices count.
- Question
- On My Ballot, each voter picks the ward where they are registered and may choose one candidate in each of the six races on that ballot: President, Governor, Senator, Woman Representative, MP and MCA. Candidates are listed A–Z.
- How people take part
- They choose to, on chagua.co.ke. Nobody is contacted or sampled.
- About the people
- Chagua does not collect age, gender, education level or other details about the people counted.
What is counted
- Only signed-in accounts. Ballots kept only in a browser are not counted.
- Accounts at least 3 days old, with a confirmed email address.
- One ballot per account. If someone builds ballots for more than one ward, only the one they saved most recently counts. Changing a choice moves it; clearing it removes it.
- Only candidates whose profiles are currently published.
- Below 5, a count shows as "fewer than 5", so a small ward never points to one person's choice.
Privacy
Only totals are ever shown. Nobody, including candidates and parties, can see who chose whom. Ballots are never sold or shared.
Around polling day
Kenya's Publication of Electoral Opinion Polls Act bars publishing race results on election day and in the five days before it. Saved-ballot counts are hidden for that whole period, and around any by-election for the area voting, whether or not they count as a race.
Chagua does not rank, score or endorse candidates. Lists stay in A–Z order; nothing is sorted by saved ballots.
