The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) seeks to verify 1.019 million transfer requests. This comes after some voters complained they had been moved from their original polling stations without their consent.

If indeed such transfers were effected, they stand to disenfranchise a sizeable number of voters. The law gives every eligible voter the right to vote for candidates of his or her choice from a polling station that offers them convenience.
