The Elections Observation Group (ELOG) has renewed its calls for an independent audit of the Register of Voters (RoV), urging the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to grant access to the voters' roll.
In a statement released on Wednesday, March 19, ELOG stressed the need for an audit due to discrepancies identified in the 2012 and 2017 audit reports.
The non-profit organisation also appeared to reference revelations by SK Macharia, who recently cast doubt on the accuracy of the current RoV and claimed that elections from 2007 to 2022 were marred by serious flaws, underscoring the need for reforms. "It is evident that while the due process of registering, compiling, updating, auditing, cleaning, and certifying the Register of Voters has been a consistent feature towards safeguarding its integrity, there have been persistent errors and anomalies that are very concerning," the statement read.
