Simply enter your ward, constituency, or use your location to search. VeriVote will show you a list of candidates running for various positions in your region, along with their profiles, stances, and any available documents. You can also filter by role, party, or county to narrow your results.

No. VeriVote is a strictly non-partisan platform. We do not endorse, support, or receive funding from any political party or candidate. Our mission is to provide objective, verifiable information to help voters make informed decisions.

Candidate and party information is updated continuously as new data is verified by our team. Scores are recalculated whenever new evidence is submitted and reviewed. You can see the "last updated" timestamp on any candidate profile.

V-Scores are calculated using 80+ indicators across 5 pillars: Character & Integrity, Accountability & Transparency, Public Engagement & Inclusivity, Policy & Strategic Vision, and Professional Competence & Execution. Each indicator is scored by trained evaluators using verified evidence — from parliamentary records and EACC filings to court records and asset declarations. Scores are weighted, aggregated, and subject to safeguards including Trust Coefficients, Integrity Veto, and Category Floor protections. The entire framework is grounded in Chapter Six of Kenya's Constitution (Articles 10, 27, 73, and 232). For full detail, visit our How Scoring Works page.

Candidates themselves can submit documents and evidence through our platform after registering. Our editorial team also collects information from publicly available sources such as IEBC filings, court records, and official government databases.

The V-Score (VeriVote Score) is a 0–100 composite score that reflects how well a candidate meets our verified benchmarks across 5 key pillars of constitutional leadership and integrity. It is not a recommendation or endorsement — it is an evidence-based assessment grounded in Chapter Six of Kenya's Constitution.

No. VeriVote is an information platform, not a recommendation service. The V-Score measures how well a candidate meets constitutional leadership and integrity standards based on publicly verifiable evidence. A higher score means more alignment with those standards — it does not mean VeriVote endorses or supports that candidate. The decision of who to vote for is yours alone. VeriVote exists to make that decision better-informed.
