Beginning June 14, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will conduct voter education for a week.
The week-long event, which aims to educate the public about the Commission’s mandate and actions, will take place in all counties until June 20th.
The Annual Voter Education Week brings together key stakeholders and provides citizens with an opportunity to connect with the electoral body.
During the Annual Voter Education Week, voters will have the opportunity to verify their personal information, including that included on national identity cards.
The IEBC is in charge of organizing and overseeing referendums and elections for any elective body or office established by the Constitution.
Kenyans who want to switch polling stations should take advantage of the Annual Voter Education Week.
In the 2021/22 Kenyan Budget, Treasury allocated a 14.46 billion budget to the IEBC, which is a 223% increase from Kshs 4.8 billion.
However, the budget statement did not mention any instance of a referendum.
