In the ongoing IEBC 2026 Voter Registration Drive launched March 30, Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has registered 1,876,274 new voters—75% of its 2.5 million target—with four days left until April 28. Chairman Erustus Edung Ethekon urged remaining eligible citizens to register.
