All polling stations will open between 6am and 5pm and voters will be required to have an Identification Cards or passport which will be used by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials for verification.
The first step at the polling station will be voter identification using the KIEMS kit which is an automated kit which uses the Electronic Voter Identification (EVID) system to identify voters.
The 55,100 KIEMS kits distributed across the country will be used to electronically identify voters facial image, fingerprints as well as civil data.
Any citizen who misses his details in the KIEMS Kit or the manual register will not be eligible to participate in the election.
The second step after a successful voter identification and authentication using the KIEMS kit, will be the actual voting.
The electorate will be issued with six stamped ballot papers for the six elective seats by the IEBC official.
The voter will be required to make a choice for the presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, Members of Parliament, Woman Representatives, and Members of the County Assembly (MCA) candidates.
This is a critical step as the marking of the ballot paper by way of ticking or crossing when choosing a leader will determine whether the vote will be counted as valid or not.
