| Updated Sun, February 12th 2017 at 11:45 GMT +3The identification of bidders to supply kits for the August 8 elections has reached a critical stage. The commission opened the bids last Tuesday after the February 2 deadline for submission was closed. The electoral body has less than a month to complete the evaluation exercise and award the tender to the successful bidder. At the same time, IEBC must put extra effort to beat the May 10, deadline when the kits are required to be used in verification of voters. The successful bidder is expected to provide IEBC with a solution integrate the ongoing Biometric Voter Registration, Electronic Voter Identification Device and Electronic Voter Tallying and Electronic Result Transmission kits.
