How to Verify Your Voter Registration with IEBC

As Kenya prepares for elections, every eligible voter is encouraged to confirm their details in the IEBC (Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission) register. This step ensures that your information is accurate, your polling station is correctly assigned, and that you will not encounter issues on election day.

The IEBC has provided a convenient online portal for voter verification:
