IEBC: Pre-2012 Voters Must Register Afresh as 344,000 Sign Up in Ongoing Drive - April 2026
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced that all Kenyans registered to vote before 2012 must re-register using the current biometric system, clarifying that only voters who did not register biometrically before 2012 need to re-register. The ongoing Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) exercise, which aims to enlist 2.5 million new voters, has seen 344,316 people register in its first four days. DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa challenged the IEBC over its directive for some Kenyans to re-register as voters, questioning the necessity after successful biometric identification in the last election. The directive aims to ensure the integrity of the 2027 General Election by updating legacy data to the current biometric system.
