IEBC- ONLY 1.4M KENYANS REGISTERD TO VOTE AGAINST 6MILLION TARGET IN MONTH-LONG DRIVE

IEBC has enrolled a total of 1,413,444 new voters out of the projected target of 6,000,000 eligible voters.

At the same time, a total of 352,679 registered voters have applied to transfer from their current registration centres to other centres of choice.

IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said the Commission will resume the constituency office-based Continuous Voter Registration and Revision of the Voter’s Roll upon conclusion of the Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR).

“This will run until such a time that the Commission will publish a gazette notice suspending the CVR exercise to pave way for Biometric Verification of the Register of Voters (ROV) as required by Law,” the commision said in a statement.

“The CVR includes; new registration, transfers of registration centres, change of particulars and deletion of dead voters.”

Meanwhile, voter registration for citizens residing outside the Country will commence on Monday 6th December, 2021.

“The Commission will, prior to commencement of the exercise, publish in the Kenya Gazette the names of registration centres and Countries in which registration and voting is scheduled to take place and the period of registration,” the IEBC said.

“The exercise will be concluded on 20th December, 2021,”

The exercise will run for a period of 15 days and will be concluded on 20th December, 2021 even as the Commission sets its eyes on certifying and publishing the voters’ register by June 2022.
