The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will resume the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) Monday, September 29.
The launch will take place at Mashuuru Primary School in Kajiado East constituency, opening another window for eligible Kenyans to either register as new voters or update their details in readiness for the 2027 general election.
The exercise, IEBC said, will be conducted at all constituency offices across the country, with the exception of areas set to hold by-elections.
According to the commission, the initiative is part of its mandate to maintain an updated and credible voter register, which is a cornerstone of transparent and inclusive electoral processes.
“This exercise is a vital step in ensuring that every eligible Kenyan has the opportunity to participate in shaping the country’s future through democratic elections. It is particularly directed towards young people who have recently attained 18 years, and all citizens who have not yet registered or need to update their voter information”, Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon said.
Services on offer during the exercise include fresh voter registration, correction or updating of voter details, transfer of registration to a different electoral area, and verification of voter information.
