Large numbers of residents in various parts of Meru County will not be able to register as voters in the on-going exercise, because of various reasons, including uncollected National Identity Cards.

In the last few days of the Mass Voter Registration, it has emerged that many residents had been turned away at registration centres owing to the fact that they only have the old generation National Identity Cards.
