The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC has been tasked to come out clearly and give voter education on how voting should be done in the August 9th polls.
Speaking after clearance by IEBC to vie for various political seats, political leaders from Trans-Nzoia County have cited that IEBC plus other stakeholders have a major role in educating agents and their voters on the way forward to avoid confusion and errors in the August polls.
They have also urged the Commission to notify voters on the new polling stations that they have put up to avoid confusion on voting day.
The leaders were confident that there would be a free and fair election conducted by IEBC urging voters to come out largely and practice their democratic right.
This comes after several voters showing confusion over the same owing to similar symbols by aspirants, similar names and other factors that may lead to their votes spoilt.
“Several candidates have been cleared by the Commission and it’s our wish to see our favorite candidates who are self oriented, energetic and with the voter’s interests at heart win,” cited one of the residents from Trans-Nzoia.
Candidates whose interests were wished away by the parties they supported headed to independent as the only option and such who can be genuinely voted for should be given fair trial.
They are asking agents to be given ample time and not to be barred from inquiring on what has to be done to achieve fair election and results.
