Jubilee party made history on January 13, 2017 when they launched their Smart Card. Jubilee Party is the first political party in Africa to use a card to register its members.

Primaries have been a thorn in the flesh of many political parties around the world and we can attest to this in Kenya. However, Jubilee Party is the party with a difference. The digital party. It's not only a smart move by the Jubilee Party — it's a brilliant move and it could be a game-changer in the general elections.

Launching the membership smart card is another example of how Jubilee Party has sought to revolutionize the way politics is played. The card is intended to ensure that there will be no fraud and that the people really do choose their candidates in nominations. Jubilee knows technology can help achieve free and fair elections.

The card has been a definite game changer with rumors of other parties planning to follow suit.

Membership of the party is acquired by application, recommendation, nomination and registration. On payment of the prescribed fee, a member shall be issued with a membership number in a digital format and a card.

The card will ensure only registered voters who are genuine members of the party participate in the nominations. It will also make sure no one votes twice in the nominations through a system that is integrated with the voter register database. The unique smart membership card contains a member’s name, identity number and their mobile phone number.
