WAJIR—The voter registration exercise has today kicked off in all across the country with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission maintaining that it would add extra days to the registration period.
In Wajir, the registration exercise failed in Ademasajida Ward after all the seven BVR kits failed.
Mr Mukhtar Abdi Adan, a clerk with the IEBC said the kits could not work since batteries and solar system malfunctioned.
Mr Muktar said only one kit started working at around 3pm.
“Most voters prefer to register in the morning due to high temperatures in the afternoon,” the clerk said.
The ward has 14 polling stations and had 3,072 registered voters in the last general elections.
IEBC is targeting more than 4,000 voters during the mass voter registration exercise in the area.
