Under the Elections Act, the register of voters should be ready 90 days to the date of the elections – May 8. “My understanding of the law is that prior to the 90 days, we should do all these processes. I am aware that out there, people are registering two times because of all this transfer business,” said Mr Chebukati. After the 14th, it would still be lawful to continue with registration as the law says it should end 90 days to the elections,” said Githunguri MP Njoroge Baiya. The newly-appointed chairman said only Kenyans in the Diaspora and prisoners would be registered after the Valentines’ Day deadline.
