IEBC expands diaspora voting sites ahead of 2027 polls

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, IEBC, intends to increase the number of countries where Kenyans can participate in next year's general election from 12 to 26. Speaking before the National Assembly diaspora affairs and migrant workers committee, IEBC acting CEO Ledama Sunkuli petitioned parliament for an increase in IEBC’s budgetary allocation, saying the commission is yet to begin Diaspora voter education and registration owing to budget shortfalls.
