These are Kenyans who wake up every day to hustle. Sometimes issues of governance and voter registration are pushed aside because survival comes first,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nderitu noted that many in the informal sector remain unregistered not out of disinterest, but due to lack of time, information, and targeted outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnless they are mobilized and their mindset shifts to see participation in governance as important, they may be left out,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bridge the gap, the IEBC is now considering more direct, grassroots-based mobilization strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include working with civil society groups, conducting workplace outreach, and physically engaging communities where they live and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInformation is power. There are Kenyans who leave home early and return late\u2014they don\u2019t even have access to radio. So how do you reach them? We must adopt different strategies, including in-person engagement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commission is also looking beyond urban centres, with plans to tailor approaches for pastoralist communities whose mobility makes traditional registration methods less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must find ways to reach them wherever they are, even during migration due to drought,\u201d Nderitu noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Progress and remaining gaps<br>Despite the challenges, the IEBC reported encouraging signs from the latest registration exercise, with youth making up more than half of newly registered voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the last register of 2022, young people were about 40 percent. This time, we believe we have surpassed 50 percent, which is a positive indicator,\u201d Nderitu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, she emphasized that this progress still falls short of reflecting Kenya\u2019s demographic reality, where approximately 70 percent of the population is under 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis means we still have gaps to close to achieve a truly inclusive register,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commissioner also pointed to other underserved groups, including older Kenyans who have never voted despite being eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are adults\u2014even in their 60s and 70s\u2014who have never voted. These are people we must educate and bring into the electoral process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nderitu urged young people to take greater responsibility in shaping the country\u2019s democratic future, warning against disengagement and manipulation during elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe country belongs to the youth more than anyone else. They must protect it by participating in elections, rejecting violence, and upholding the Constitution,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As preparations for the 2027 polls continue, the IEBC says it will refine its systems, strengthen outreach, and push for institutional reforms aimed at addressing gaps identified in previous elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking during Capital in the Morning show, IEBC Commissioner Anne Nderitu said the commission had identified underserved groups, particularly young people in urban informal settlements, as critical to achieving a more inclusive voter register.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14289,"featured_media":800868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4625,26],"tags":[3359,1981,89],"coauthors":[2146],"class_list":["post-800874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-anne-nderitu","tag-featured","tag-iebc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) -
