Woman Representative campaigns on Civicore.

The Woman Representative is elected county-wide to the National Assembly. Civicore treats that geography as first-class: 47 counties, their constituencies, and their wards.

The office

What a Woman Representative is elected to do.

The Woman Representative is a Member of the National Assembly elected by the whole county. She holds the same legislative powers as a constituency MP, with a specific mandate to represent the women of that county.

How a Women Rep campaign is organised.

Women Rep campaigns cover an entire county. Field teams, volunteers, and events need to be organised against official electoral units.

Civicore gives the campaign a county workspace with constituency and ward breakdowns - the same map used for governors and senators in that county.

We are independent of the National Assembly and of every political party. Aspirants who join sign a public peace pledge.

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.
