How a President campaign is organised.

A presidential race is a national logistics problem: county coordinators, constituency teams, volunteer networks, and a communications calendar that must stay consistent from Mandera to Kwale.

Civicore models Kenya's electoral hierarchy natively. National broadcasts can fan out to county, constituency, or ward without losing the audit trail.

Civicore is independent civic-tech. It does not endorse candidates, count votes, or replace the IEBC.

Civicore is independent civic-tech. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the IEBC, the ORPP, Parliament, County Assemblies, the PPDT, or the Judiciary. Geography on this site is IEBC-aware so campaigns can organise on official units.
