Ok, remove the USSD aspect. Imagine a system that is very simple to use, yet secure and works right. "Imagine" is just the first step... On 10 February 2012 17:28, Moses Muya <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:
The idea looks brilliant on paper but if you look at the technical details you will discover it's not!USSD is not secure enough for this kind of work.

Hi,
@ Gichingiri Kuria, it can work well but consider a scenario where a Politician gathers a crowd of people and dishes out cash after confirming that you voted for him through your mobile phone!!! That will ruin the whole exercise....

Hi all,
Since mpesa has worked so well in Kenya, how about we put the next general elections on mobile using USSD.
As you register to vote, you can choose to vote via mobile and provide the number that you will use. Come election day, prompts will be sent to batches of users to vote.
If done right, more people will vote and results will be out faster.
