With this referendum, the interim election commission organised easily the most efficient and open vote in Africa. And, after being caught asleep on the job last time, this time the security services left nothing to chance.
Security forces were deployed in large numbers in the volatile Rift Valley, where most of the last post-election and displacements took place.
In the event, the voting ended without incident.
