The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) projects Kenya's voter register to swell to approximately 28.5 million by the 2027 General Election, spurred by a robust ongoing mass voter registration drive.

• The commission has already registered about 850,000 new voters in the first nine days of the exercise.
• Led by IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon, the commission is targeting an additional 6.3 million to 6.8 million voters.
• Despite encouraging registration numbers, the IEBC faces a significant budget shortfall of over KSh 20 billion, potentially impacting critical electoral operations.
