The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will resume the continuous voter registration exercise from Monday, September 29, 2025 across the country.

In a statement, the Commission said the exercise will target Kenyans who have attained the age of 18 and those who have not previously registered as voters, as well as citizens who wish to transfer their registration details to different polling stations.

Eligible voters are therefore required to present their original national identity card or a valid Kenyan passport to register.

“The Commission notifies the public that continuous voter registration will resume on Monday, 29th September 2025, at constituency IEBC offices and all Huduma Centres countrywide,” the statement read in part.

“Voter registration will take place at all Constituency IEBC offices and designated County Assembly Wards. Mobile registration teams will also be deployed to reach remote and marginalised areas to ensure inclusivity."

Registered voters will also get an opportunity to apply for the transfer of their voting details by physically visiting constituency offices with their identification documents.

Kenyans living abroad will be able to register at designated IEBC centres within embassies, high commissions, and consulates in countries where the electoral body is accredited. 

The Commission further noted that continuous voter registration will be suspended 60 days before the next General Election in line with the law.

“The Commission calls upon all eligible Kenyans who are yet to register as voters to take advantage of this opportunity to do so and participate in the electoral processes,” the statement adds.

According to IEBC, the voter registration drive is part of ongoing preparations to enhance electoral participation ahead of the 2027 General Election.

How to register for new voters

Go to your IEBC Constituency Office (registration is open countrywide, except where by-elections are ongoing).

Carry your original ID or valid Kenyan passport.

Request and fill Form A (the statutory new voter registration form).

Provide your personal and biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) to the Registration Officer.

Receive an acknowledgement slip confirming capture of your details.

IEBC clarifies the slip is not used for voting; on Election Day and every voter must present their ID or passport.
