The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has launched a 30-day Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) exercise across the country to give eligible citizens an opportunity to register as voters or update their registration details.

The exercise began on March 30, 2026, and will continue until April 28, 2026, targeting new voters and those wishing to transfer or correct their voting information.

According to the commission, the exercise is part of ongoing efforts to increase the number of registered voters and make registration services more accessible to citizens across different regions.

IEBC has especially encouraged young people who have attained the age of 18, as well as eligible citizens who have not yet registered as voters, to take advantage of the opportunity within the registration period.

During the exercise, registration services will be offered at several locations across the country to ensure many citizens are reached.

These include County Assembly Wards (CAWs) on a rotational basis depending on the movement of registration kits, universities and colleges within constituencies, Huduma Centres, IEBC constituency offices, and the IEBC Customer Experience Centre at Anniversary Towers in Nairobi.

The commission said the wide coverage is intended to make the process easier and more convenient for citizens.

However, IEBC clarified that the registration exercise will not take place in areas where by-elections are scheduled, including Porro Ward, Endo Ward, and Emurua Dikirr Constituency.

The commission also announced that the exercise will not be conducted in Malava Constituency and Mbeere North Constituency due to ongoing election petitions affecting those areas.

The voter registration exercise is being conducted under the theme “Deepening Democracy in Kenya through Inclusive Voter Registration.”

IEBC has urged citizens to rely on official communication channels for accurate information and to avoid misinformation during the registration period.

Through the exercise, the commission hopes to strengthen public participation in elections and prepare the country for upcoming electoral activities, including the May 14 by-elections in the affected regions, as part of efforts to promote inclusive democratic participation across the country.
