The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission is set to roll out an Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) exercise beginning Monday, March 30, 2026, as part of efforts to boost voter numbers ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The 30-day exercise will run daily until April 28, 2026, covering all days of the week from Monday to Sunday.
According to the commission, registration will be conducted across multiple locations, including county assembly wards on a rotational basis guided by kit movement schedules, universities and colleges, Huduma Centres, constituency offices and the IEBC Customer Experience Centre at Anniversary Towers in Nairobi.
However, the commission clarified that the exercise will not be conducted in areas with ongoing by-elections or active election petitions.
The initiative is anchored on the theme “Deepening Democracy in Kenya Through Inclusive Voter Registration.”
IEBC Commissioner Ann Nderitu said the exercise will prioritize grassroots access by taking registration services to the ward level to reach more eligible voters.
She revealed that since September 2025, the commission has already registered 277,903 new voters under the continuous voter registration programme.
Nderitu noted that the exercise will offer three key services: registration of new voters, transfer of voters to new constituencies, and correction of voter details.
“For correction of particulars and transfer, this will be done at the constituency level, where a voter is required to visit the constituency they wish to register in,” she said.
IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon said the commission has put in place extensive infrastructure to support the exercise.
“By Monday, we will have registration centres across all villages and wards, over 33,000. This exercise will be massive,” Ethekon stated.
The commission has urged all eligible Kenyans who have not registered as voters, as well as those seeking to update their details, to take advantage of the exercise.
