Kenyan youth are launching their own voter registration drive ahead of the 2027 General Election, taking matters into their own hands due to perceived delays by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

• Young Kenyans are proactively engaging in civic education and registration efforts, despite the IEBC reportedly lagging in these areas.
• Key players include Gen Z, who are spearheading the initiative, and the IEBC, the official electoral body.
• This grassroots movement highlights a growing sentiment among young voters to ensure their participation, even as official channels face criticism.
