No, you can’t vote for president ‘at any polling station if you’re registered’
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has refuted claims one is allowed to vote for the president anywhere other than their polling station.
The commission slammed the message, which has been shared widely on social media, as fake news.
Voters are only allowed to vote where they are registered.
Please ignore #FakeNews in circulation saying otherwise. #WeweNdioKusema— IEBC (@IEBCKenya) August 8, 2017
There have been suggestions that people are legally allowed to cast the vote for president alone on any polling station as long as they are registered.
“If you know someone who is Registered, But Not in the Area they Registered, Alert them to go Nearest Polling station and Vote for President. It’s Allowed. Widely share.
Could this be true?” reads the poorly written fake message.
