Abstract
The year 2013 marks another historic event in the democracy of our country, where the country would be voting in a new system of governance. With the coming into force of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the scattered electoral laws which guided the conduct and management of elections have since been revised and consolidated into to two key pieces of legislations; the Elections Act, the Political Parties Act and their respective subsidiary legislations. The new electoral laws provide a paradigm shift in the conduct and management of elections, including enhanced accountability mechanisms. In addition, the Commission has developed administrative guidelines to operationalize these laws. This calls for a thorough understanding of the legal framework and the guidelines by all stakeholders in elections; particularly the election agents to better equip them with the necessary skills to perform their roles and responsibilities.
