Macharia said the sampling frame was developed using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) with the registered voter distribution as the weighting factor.
The sample was further split into key demographic groups including by region, age and gender.
The key administrative boundary was the district of residence, which was further split into both urban and rural.
Sampling technique adopted was purposive, random and systematic. This was done so as to ensure that every registered voter in Kenya was given an equal opportunity to participate.
