Download How did Kenyans in the diaspora cast their vote?
Kenya’s presidential election has been dominating the headlines this week.
And while we still don’t know there results, there’s still plenty to talk about.
The Kenyan constitution gives all citizens living overseas the right to vote in elections.
This year their options have been expanded, with embassies in 12 countries opening their doors for people to cast ballots.
But that has still meant long and expensive journeys for people wanting to cast a ballot.
And although around four million Kenyans live overseas, only around then thousand were registered to vote.
So, is Kenya leading the way on diaspora voting? Or does more need to be done?
