IEBC may miss the 6 million voters target, ELOG warns

While urban counties recorded higher registration figures, those in rural areas performed poorly.

The Elections Observation Group (ELOG) has raised concern over the low number of Kenyans who turned up to be registered as voters during the first week of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

On Friday, October 3, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) reported that it had registered 7,048 new voters, while 259 previously registered voters applied for transfer of electoral areas, and 8 people updated their details.
