Residents from Taita Taveta have cried foul play over what they regard as attempts by the Interim Electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC attempt to bar them from voting in the forthcoming general election. This is after a section of them were allegedly turned away by voter registration clerks when they showed up at polling stations for services they rightfully deserve. With three days away from the deadline for voter registration, I'm afraid I might miss out the election because of a sin I didn't commit," she added. With the registration deadline set for Tuesday 14th February, most voters feel that they will be barred from participating in the elections. "It's our humble plight that the IEBC will consider offering more services at the polling stations rather than just registering new voters," added Lucas.
