However, due to COVID -19 related travel restrictions and logistical challenges, the IEBC will not carry out a voter registration exercise in some areas that it had promised.

The areas include the United Kingdom(Kenya High Commission in London), Canada (Kenya High Commission in Ottawa, Kenya Honorary Consulate in Toronto and Kenya Honorary Consulate in Vancouver)ย and United Arab Emirates (Kenya Embassy in the United Arab Emirates and Kenya Consulate inย Dubai).

“The Commission regrets the delay in rolling out the voter registration exercise in theย affected countries and is closely working with the relevant authorities to ensure it kicksย off,” IEBC Chair added.

The electoral body said the exercise will be extended by the number of days lost once the registration exercise kicks off toย ensure that eligible voters have the 15 days for registration.

“The Commission affirms its commitment to afford Kenyans in the affected diaspora countries the opportunity to exercise their democratic right to register as voters to enable them to participate in the upcoming General Election,” Chebukati stated.
