Should those who registered before 2012 as voters need to register afresh?

Not at all UNLESS they DID NOT register as voters from 2012 when the new Register of Voter (ROV) was established under the new Constitution of Kenya 2010 and boundaries delimitation of 2012.

REASON?

Because before 2012, the ROV was manual. In 2012, it went BIOMETRIC and so all eligible Kenyans were required to enrol and their Biometrics captured. This is the ROV that has been in place since 2013. As of the 2022 General Election, the Commission maintained an accurate and audited register comprising 22,120,458 voters.

So we have not asked ALL OLD VOTERS PRE-2012 to register a fresh. Just those few who might have missed to register in 2012 and who, subsequently, have never registered under the Biometric system to date.

No panic.!! Hapa kazi tu!
