How do I check if I am registered to vote?
Check your registration through the official IEBC verification service at iebc.or.ke. The IEBC opens verification windows before an election, and during those windows it also offers an SMS option. Confirming early matters: registering and being on the register at the right station are two different things.
Use the official channel only
Verify through iebc.or.ke. The IEBC announces the verification service and any SMS shortcode itself, ahead of each election.
Never enter your ID number into an unofficial website, a link forwarded on WhatsApp, or a form that asks for anything beyond what the IEBC asks for. Your ID number is worth protecting, and voter-verification pages are an easy thing to fake.
What you are checking
- That you appear on the register at all.
- Which polling station you are assigned to — this is where you must vote on the day.
- That your details are correct, so nothing delays you at the station.
If something is wrong
During the IEBC’s registration and transfer windows you can update your details or move to a different polling station at an IEBC office. The exact windows are announced by the IEBC ahead of each election.
Do not leave it until election week. Transfers and corrections close before the vote.
