The distribution of numbers based on the wards are as follows: Ol Moran (3,420), Rumuruti (4,097), Githiga (5,719), Marmanet (9,429), Igwamiti (15,087), Salama (3,374), Ngobit (6,205), Tigithi (6,301), Thingithu (6,310), Nanyuki (9,939), Umande (4,212), Sosian (6,958), Segera (4,199), Mukogodo West (2,069) and Mukogodo West (4,050).
The commission has deployed a total of 47 voter registration kits across the county to make it easier for the citizens to register.
We urge eligible voters to take this advantage during the ongoing enhanced continuous voter registration exercise and register as voters and avoid the last-minute rush.
county elections manager Agnes Mutisya said.
We urge the youth and any other person who failed to register as a voter in 2017 to come out in large numbers to register.
she said. There might be congestion if voters come out during the last minute, a situation that can be avoided at the moment. Those who registered during the previous general elections should also visit registration centers to verify their details. Each of the wards has three machines moving around for easier registration.
