The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is set to roll out the second phase of the Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) and diaspora voter registration in January.

This was announced by IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati in his New Year message to Kenyans. He urged all eligible citizens who are yet to be registered as voters to turn up at their registration centers for enrollment.

Chebukati further reiterated the commissions commitment to delivering a free, fair, and credible election on August 9th, 2022.

The Commission is on course in planning and putting in place measures and mechanism to ensure a simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable, impartial, efficient, credible and transparent General Election, said Chebukati.

The Commission is alive to the significant role played by stakeholders in the electoral process and assures you that it shall continue to engage all relevant stakeholders within the confines of the law and in particular Article 88 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, he added.

He appealed to all stakeholders and Kenyans to extend their support to IEBC and campaign peacefully during the electioneering period.

Last year, IEBC failed to meet its target of registering at least 4.5 million new voters ahead of the 2022 general election.

The electoral commission said it will be listing diaspora voters in 11 countries that met the minimum requirement of 3,000 voters. They include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Africa.
