The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has responded to speculation regarding the potential elimination of voter cards for the 2027 General Election, stating that no final decisions have been made.

• IEBC Chair Erastus Ethekon confirmed that proposals, including the Elections (Amendment) Bill, 2024, have been submitted to parliamentary committees for consideration.
• The IEBC emphasized that all proposed changes will undergo comprehensive public participation before implementation.
• The proposed changes aim to modernize the electoral process, potentially replacing voter cards with national ID cards or passports for voter registration and leveraging biometric technologies like the Kenya Integrated Elections Management System (KIEMS).
