Geopoll Surveys Time Limit Kenya Top May 2026

But in Kenya, where connectivity is unequal, the social meaning of time is complex. Urban respondents with steady mobile data and electricity can tap into a survey and respond quickly. Rural participants may rely on intermittent signal, shared phones, or agents who visit during market days. A strict, short time limit can systematically exclude those whose schedules or infrastructures don’t match the survey’s clock — skewing samples toward the chronically connected and under-representing smallholder farmers, casual laborers, or elders who use phones less frequently. Thus, the time limit is not merely a methodological parameter; it shapes who gets heard.
