Poll Observation Data from the Kenya General Elections held on 27 December 2007.

KEDOF served as the primary national observation effort prior to and during the general elections of December 27, 2007. Pre-election political activities were observed in each of the 210 parliamentary constituencies. On the election day, KEDOF endeavored to station field observers at many of the 27,000+ polling places, and succeeded in training over 17,000 observers at short-notice.

The digitization of these election documents and data was the brain child of Andrew Harris, a Harvard graduate student, who had traveled to Kenya in search of resources for his doctoral research. While in Nairobi, Kenya, Andrew gained access to the original KEDOF documents with the approval of the NCCK. He then appealed, with success, to the HCL-Widener Library for assistance in funding the scanning of the documents. Guided by the motto: "For Wananchi" (For Citizens), the NCCK serves as Kenya's largest Christian organization, bringing together 43 member churches and organizations. The materials were temporarily archived at the Jumuia Conference Center, located 26 kilometers from Nairobi, Kenya. The center also hosts the NCCK's excellent permanent archives, tracing back to the date the organization was founded in 1913. Based on Andrew’s recommendation and coordination, NCCK readily made the materials available for scanning by a local company in Nairobi, Verve K.O. Ltd. in August 2009. Given their space constraints and archival priorities, Harvard’s DRS will therefore serve as the primary digital repository of the archive of the KEDOF documents.

KEDOF compiled data from the election day polling-station level booklets and published the results in June 2008 in a report entitled, The Kenya Election 2007: Losses, Gains, and Lessons (HOLLIS: 014126258).
