Reports can be verified and unverified. Your job is to work with all the teams, partners and your mighty Internet powers. Consider yourself a detective.

Review the Uchaguzi Participant Checklist & Guide
VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to review and adhere to the Uchaguzi Verification Overview and Uchaguzi Verification Team instructions.
Login into the Skype Window of the Verification Team and announce you are starting your shift. If you are not already added to skype chat, please contact your Team Coleads for assistance.
When you confirmed your participation, we encouraged you to set up your account on uchaguzi.co.ke. We then upgraded your account to your respective member role. If you did not create your account in advance, please go ahead and create your account, then advise your colead so that you may be granted access as per the Uchaguzi Access Chart.
Prioritize reports that have been categorised as “Security issues”, “Dangerous speech” and “Police Actions”
Start at the top, with the most recent reports, and look for reports that have the category. But, always consider leaving a report as "unverified" with some notes in the comments about your research. Maybe someone else will be able to review it and add more details. It is always better to leave uncertainty as "unverified". Again, we will work with partners to be sure that reports that can be proven are "verified".
Not all reports will be possible to verify. Do your best. Remember to refresh the page often to see the most recent events.
Choose a report and make sure it is not being processed by someone else on the team by sharing the report ID (last two - four digits at the end of the URL) or full report link with the rest of your team in the skype window.
