Kenyans are currently participating in by-elections across 22 electoral areas for various parliamentary, senatorial, and county assembly seats, with polls opening at 6:00 a.m. local time. The exercise is marked by heavy security deployment and strong assurances of impartiality from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

• IEBC Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon confirmed full logistical preparations, including the distribution of ballot papers and deployment of KIEMS-kit voter identification systems.
• The National Police Service (NPS) has assured a peaceful voting atmosphere, with Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen warning against attempts to interfere with the process, emphasizing that vote protection is a state duty.
• The IEBC has implemented a "zero tolerance" policy towards election-related violence following earlier incidents, with warnings of prosecution for interfering staff and sanctions for candidates involved in disruptions.
