The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced key timelines for the 2027 General Election in Kenya, setting the stage for preparations ahead of the polls scheduled for August 10, 2027. The IEBC has published the Kenya Gazette Notice, which brings into force the Electoral Code of Conduct and the Election Offences Act, outlining legal requirements and deadlines for political parties, candidates, and public officers.
Continuous Voter Registration, which began in September 2025, has registered 2,936,516 Kenyans as of August 2026, with the final voter register expected to contain about 28.5 million voters. The Commission is also expanding diaspora registration from 12 to 26 countries and will use biometric technology to verify voters and identify deceased persons and duplicate registrations.
