The essential point
Draft: an editor has not checked this summary yet. Every statement below still shows the official record it came from.
IEBC’s 2017 notice required parties to submit party lists by 24 June, covered nominated seats in national and county assemblies, and explained submission rules and the special-seat allocation formula used by IEBC.
Evidence: legal-and-subject heading, deadline and scope paragraph; retained PDF physical p. 1
Why it matters
Party lists determine who may enter nominated seats after votes are counted. A party that failed to submit a compliant list could be left out of that seat allocation.
Evidence: special-seat formula and noncompliance note; retained PDF physical p. 7
