Fears over poor voter education

The civil society has warned that lack of civic education could jolt the General Election. The groups said the polls could witness massive irregularities since the voters were yet to be sensitised on election procedures and their rights to vote.

The more than 200 voter education providers accredited by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to support its 2,900 officials undertaking civic education, argued that a decline in voter participation in electoral processes points to a democracy deficit.
