How to Verify Voter Registration Status
Registered voters can send their ID or passport numbers used in the registration process via SMS to 70000.
Alternatively, Kenyans can visit the IEBC voter verification portal and insert their details on the electronic platform.
The electoral body stated that incorrect data would be rectified before the exercise is closed, further giving a directive.
“Visit the commission website portal verify(dot)iebc(dot)or(dot)ke. In the event, your details are incorrectly captured, visit your registration center,” read the statement in part.
Additionally, IEBC stated that their officials in their registration centers across the country would also help Kenyans struggling with the electronic methods.
“Visit your registration center or IEBC office in your constituency with your original ID or valid passport that you used to register as a voter,” IEBC stated.
Upon requesting verification, IEBC will send details of the voter’s name, gender, date of birth, county, constituency, ward and the polling station.
The electoral board made the announcement just days after the commission postponed nationwide voter registration until March 13, 2023.
The action, according to IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati, will allow registered voters validate their biometrics while the commission cleans up the voter registry ahead of the August 9 elections.
“The Commission notifies the public that this suspension is to enable the availability of the register of voters to the public for purposes of verification of biometric data and particulars of registered voters in accordance with section 6A of the Elections Act, 2011,” IEBC announced.
