ID |
- Comprises of
- Poll station ID
- Some kind of device ID
- Date stamp
- Time stamp
- We would have expected these files to be unique for each poll station, but noticed some poll stations that have a multiple of these files
- It looked like the PDF image was the same, so it could be that form 34A was resent by the KIEMS kit?
- It means that the KIEMS KIT stamps the date when it sends the form, or,
- The server that receives the Form34A from KIEMS KIT stamps it based on received time
- The ID points to the PDF on IEBC servers.. Please check to see whether your poll stations form34 is original
|
Station |
The name of the poll station.
Some poll stations are located at the same place, so will have a 1,2,3.. appended to the name.
This data was lifted from a document that did not have the numbers, so we haven't appended them.
Stations in the same precinct should have similar turnout & number registered voters
|
Last Modified |
The time that the form34A was last modified.
- We don't understand why the PDF that was signed at the KIEMS kit has a different modification time from the time it was signed
- At times, this 'modification time' is earlier than the time on the filename - by almost 2 minutes
-
- This is how we can tell that the modification was done on a device not part of the IEBC infrastructure
|
Delay |
The time between that on the form34A filename, and when the file was last modified.
- We don't understand why the PDF that was signed at the KIEMS kit has a different modification time from the time it was signed
- This is a negative value for about 6,000 forms
-
- The negative value is imprecisely - calculated... I should have done it, but it makes a point as it is :)
|
Registered Voters |
Number of registered voters
- Why was this number to be entered by the presiding officer, yet it is in the records of IEBC?
- It should almost be the same at the polling stations located at the same precint
|
Actual Voted |
Actual number of votes
- Should be nearly the same in polling stations located at same precincts
|
Turnout |
Percentage of registered voters that voted.
- Should this be almost the same for polling station in the same location?
|
Originality |
Is this the same image as was taken by the KIEMS kit?
We retrieved the JPEG file from the PDF and subjected them to algorithm defined here: https://github.com/b3dk7/atomicjpeg
- Please read this
- How to interpret the values:
- 0 - 0.05 | 90% likely of being an original
- 0.05 - 0.1 | 70% likely of being an original
- 0.1 - 0.15 | 50% likely of bieng an original
- 0.15 - 0.2 | 30% likely of being an original
- 0.2 > infinity | 10% likely of being an original
- Most of Forms34 A were modified after being taken by the KIEMS kit!!
|
JPEG Profile |
Was ICC_PROFILE available in the JPEG image within the PDF?
- Some of the images (about 13,000 out of the 46000) had this ICC_PROFILE record
- This shows us that, either, the PDFs / JPEGs were not created by the same app, or
- Some of the JPEGs were modified by a different app, not just the KIEMS kit alone
- It is this different app that caused the differences in the headers of JPEGs embedded in the PDFs
