Fellow Kenyans, the road to the 2027 General Election begins now, not with rallies or campaign posters but with one simple and powerful act: registering as a voter. Your vote truly counts.
We have seen elections decided by a margin of just two votes and others nullified because of malpractice. These moments remind us that every single vote matters. If votes did not count, politicians would not spend billions seeking them or forming coalitions to win them. The real power lies in your hands, and that power begins with registration.
Here is the good news. You do not have to travel to your village to register. You can register right where you are and choose your preferred polling station anywhere in the country. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has made it easier than ever. Whether you are in Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, or Isiolo, you can register and even transfer your voter registration to your preferred location with ease.
So, if you have not registered yet, do it today. It is simple, it is free, and it is your constitutional right. When you register, you give yourself a voice in choosing leaders who shape your future — from the schools we build and the hospitals we go to, to the roads we use, the water we drink, how we conserve our environment, the food we eat, the jobs we create, and the freedoms we defend.
And to those who registered ahead of the last election, thank you for taking that step. But do not stop there. Take a moment to verify your voter details at your nearest IEBC registration center or online at https://verify.iebc.or.ke/ to make sure everything is accurate. A small error could cost you your vote on election day.
To Kenya’s youth, the heartbeat of this nation, this is your moment. Do not just talk about change or post it online. Be part of it. Your ideas, your hopes, and your frustrations belong in the decision-making process. The ballot box is where you turn your voice into action.
Remember, your vote is your power, your right, and your responsibility. Make it count. Choose better leaders. Shape the Kenya you want to see.
Register today and encourage your friends to do the same. Together, let us build a stronger, fairer, and more accountable Kenya.
