The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has revealed that the voter registration schedule for the 2027 General Election will be issued in August this year.

While speaking to members of the press on Saturday, July 19, IEBC Chairperson Erastu Ethekon disclosed that the Commission would gazette the schedule detailing when the nationwide voter registration would take place.

In an attempt to quell one of the pressing concerns raised by Kenyans ahead of the much-anticipated polls, Ethekon noted that the IEBC had already begun groundwork and urged Kenyans to turn up and register as voters. "The IEBC is currently finalising internal processes, and in August, which is next month, will announce via gazette notice the timelines for resumption of continuous voter registration to allow eligible citizens of Kenya to register as voters," Ethekon stated.
