Kenya's electoral commission will restart voter registration Monday at constituency offices across the country. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission excluded areas conducting by-elections from the exercise ahead of 2027 polls. Citizens may register for new voting cards, update personal details, transfer locations or verify existing information during the process.
Eligible participants must hold Kenyan citizenship, reach 18 years of age and possess valid identification documents. The commission prohibits registration for convicted election offenders and individuals declared mentally unfit. Officials aim to expand the voter roll from 22.1 million people to include 6.3 million additional participants.
The agency budgeted 8 billion shillings for registration activities within its 57.3 billion shilling election preparation fund. Political observers expect significant youth participation that may influence the upcoming presidential contest.
