Steps to Guide you During Online Voter Verification.

The IEBC has a simple online portal for voter verification. Here’s what you need to do

Step 1: Access the IEBC Voter Verification Portal

Open your web browser and go to the official IEBC Voter Verification Portal. Click the highlighted word to access the direct link.

Important Note: Always ensure you are on the official IEBC website to protect your personal information. Look for the "iebc.or.ke" domain in the web address.

Step 2: Enter Your Identification Details

Once you are on the portal, you will see fields for your identification information. You need to provide:

Document Number (ID/Passport No.): This is your National Identification Card number or your Kenyan Passport number, depending on what you used to register as a voter. Enter the full number without any hyphens or spaces.

Year of Birth (yyyy): Enter your four-digit year of birth (for example, 1985 or 2000).

Step 3: Submit Your Information

After entering your document number and year of birth, click the "Check" or "Verify" button. The exact wording may differ slightly on the portal but will be clear.

Step 4: Review Your Voter Details

If your details are found in the voter register, the portal will show your registration particulars. That is:

Your Full Name

Your Identification Document Number

Your County of Registration

Your Constituency of Registration

Your Ward of Registration

Your Polling Centre Name

Your Polling Station Name

Your Polling Station Stream (if applicable)

Carefully review all displayed information to ensure it is accurate and matches your records.

Step 5: What if Your Details Are Incorrect or Not Found?

If you find any mistakes or your details are not listed, don’t panic. Here’s what to do:

Double-Check Your Input: Re-enter your ID/Passport number and year of birth to check for typos.

Contact IEBC: If the problem continues, it’s important to contact the IEBC for help. You can reach them through:

     Phone: (254) 020 - 2877000

     Email: [email protected]

 Visit an IEBC County Office: For more complex issues, it’s best to visit your nearest IEBC county office in person. They can access your records and guide you on what to do next, such as updating details or fixing registration errors.

Other Options after Online Verification

While the online portal is the easiest method, the IEBC may offer other verification options, especially closer to elections:

SMS Verification: In the past, the IEBC has provided an SMS service where you can send your ID or passport number to a specific short code (for example, 70000) to get your voter details via text message. Watch for official announcements from the IEBC about this service.

Physical Inspection: At certain times, the IEBC may open polling centers for physical checks of the voter register. This allows you to verify your details in person at your designated polling station.

Verifying your IEBC voter registration online is a quick and important step for every eligible Kenyan. By taking a few moments to check your details, you enable yourself to participate fully in the democratic process and make sure your vote counts.

Don't wait until the last minute; use the online portal today and secure your spot on the voters' register. Your vote is your future.
