So far Kenya’s elections have been going well, but the queues are long and the voters impatient.
Many arrived in the middle of the night to cast their ballots early and the electronic system is taking quite a while to verify voters.
If fingerprints don’t register, ID card numbers have to be typed in to the electronic tablets and then there’s a manual backup.
The responsibility lies with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to deliver a free and fair election.
The test will come when the polls close, the votes are counted and the results have to be transmitted to the tallying centres.
The presidential race is expected to be close.
President Kenyatta said he would accept “the will of the people” and he urged opposition leader Raila Odinga to do a similar thing to “pull the country together”.

They should wait for the 2019 election, she added, during the parliamentary debate on Mr Zuma's fate.
"You hire with your votes. You fire with your votes," said Ms Mapisa-Nqakula, a member of the governing ANC.
The minister added that the government was focusing on creating jobs, and fighting crime and corruption, in accordance with the wishes of voters.

No president who has "stolen people's money" and "violated the constitution" should be protected by parliament, Phumzile van Damme added.

Kenya's electoral commission has said that the figures it is getting from its electronic registration system being used at polling stations shows that by 11:00 GMT (14:00 local time) there was a 40% turnout.
But this could be lower than the real turnout figure as there have been reports from several places that the electronic system has not been working, correspondents say.
Polls are due to close at 17:00 local time, but voting will be extended at polling stations where there were delays in opening.
President Kenyatta had his identity checked by the electronic system when he went to vote
The no-confidence motion in President Jacob Zuma is an attempt to "liquidate" the revolution being led by the governing African National Congress (ANC) to improve the lives of South Africans, says party MP Pule Mabe.
The opposition wanted "anarchy" and it wanted to "break" South Africa, not build it, he added.
The opposition had introduced a "frivolous and fruitless" motion, and relied on "gossip and hearsay" to demand Mr Zuma's removal from power, Mr Mabe said.
Mr Zuma has repeatedly been accused by the opposition of being corrupt - an allegation he denies.

In Kenya, first-time voters have responded to a call from the electoral commission to share photos of their inked fingers.
Polling officials mark each voter with indelible ink to make sure they don't vote again. And the inked finger has become a symbol of pride for some on election day:

Following a 90-minute parliamentary debate, the house will adjourn to prepare for the vote.
A bell will be rung to alert MPs that the vote will begin, and the doors will be locked. Speaker Baleka Mbete will run through the voting process.
MPs will be called in alphabetical order to collect their ballot papers, which are stamped, and their names crossed out.
They will then place their vote in one of four booths and place it in one of two boxes.
There will be three options on the ballot paper: Yes, No or Abstain.
The Speaker will ask that ballot boxes are closed and sealed when each MP has finished voting.
A representative from each party will then be called to witness the count. The counting room will be guarded by the Sergeant-in-Arms, under supervision of the party representatives and Speaker.
Finally, the bell will be rung and the speaker will announce the results in the chamber.
The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza, who's in Kenya's western town of Eldoret, says there's a relaxed feel there.

Eldoret was among the worst-affected places when violence hit the country after the 2007 election.
