Sh2m fine and five years in jail for voting outside gazetted stations
Tough new penalties target irregular voting as the country heads towards the 2027 General Election.
Voting outside officially gazetted polling stations will attract a Sh2 million fine and a five-year jail term under new penalties targeting election irregularities.
The measure is aimed at curbing irregular polling, a long-running complaint in disputed Kenyan elections. Separately, the electoral commission has summoned Senator Hassan Omar over remarks he made about dead voters on the register.
