The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) opened the exercise on Monday in Kajiado County, with plans to extend it across all 47 counties. Voter registration had been suspended in mid-2022 as the country prepared for that year’s general election. “We are resuming in line with the constitutional requirement for continuous voter registration,” said IEBC Commissioner Alutalala Mukhwana during an interview on Citizen TV. Civil society groups have long argued that transparency in voter registration is central to fair polls. “The responsibility to vote begins with registration,” Mukhwana said.
