Growing Participation in Voter Registration
The IEBC’s latest update shows that Kenyans are actively engaging in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) process, which allows eligible citizens to register, transfer, or update their voting details outside the election period.
According to the data shared by the commission, 90,020 new voters have registered, reflecting increased awareness and participation across the country. Additionally, 15,619 transfers have been processed as voters move their registration to new polling stations, while 188 individuals have made updates to their existing records.
The progress underscores IEBC’s ongoing effort to make voter registration more accessible and continuous. The CVR initiative is part of the commission’s broader plan to keep the national voter register current, especially for youth and first-time voters.
Officials have encouraged unregistered citizens, particularly young Kenyans, to take advantage of the exercise. With digital systems and local registration centers in place, IEBC aims to simplify the process and reach as many eligible voters as possible ahead of the next general election.
Every registration counts because shaping Kenya’s future starts with a single voter card.
