Methodology

Know what kind of poll you are looking at

Community quick poll

An open website poll measures participation among people who chose to respond. It should not be represented as a statistically representative estimate of all voters.

Structured civic survey

A multi-question survey used for ward baselines, public participation or service feedback. Results should disclose collection dates, geographic scope, response count and sampling/recruitment method.

Electoral opinion poll

WardPulse provides separate fields for sponsor, field dates, sampled population, methodology, number contacted, education profile, margin of error, wording and weighting. Publication should only occur after the administrator confirms applicable Kenyan legal and methodological requirements.

Neutrality

Paid profile tools, subscriptions and advertising must never alter poll totals, neutral comparison logic, verification thresholds or factual election records.
