The essential point

Draft: an editor has not checked this summary yet. Every statement below still shows the official record it came from.

IEBC suspended applications for new registration and voter-registration changes in Kenya and abroad from 4 May 2022 to 13 March 2023, saying the pause would enable public verification of voter particulars and biometric data.
