The Diaspora Bicameral Parliamentary Framework is seeking the establishment of a secure digital and online voting system. [File, Standard]The Diaspora Bicameral Parliamentary Framework (DBPF) caucus is now pushing for the introduction of 15 diaspora constituencies through implementation of the long overdue boundaries review and delimitation exercise. Apart from 15 diaspora constituencies in the National Assembly, one diaspora seat in the Senate, The DBPF also seeks the establishment of a secure digital and online voting system to ensure a broad equitable participation. Mwaura explained that establishment of diaspora constituencies should allow voters to be reassigned to polling stations within their regions of residence, ensuring meaningful and equitable participation. Any further delay, he warns, would perpetuate the disenfranchisement that diaspora citizens have faced for more than a decade.
