As the August 2022 General Elections draw near, stakes are high in the vote-rich counties, among them Nakuru, which played an integral part in President Uhuru Kenyatta's victory.

In 2017, the county had 949,618 registered voters, which surpassed the one million mark following the registration of 58,436 new voters by November 2, 2021.
