Kenya IEBC Opens CEO Post and Urges Voting Access for Officials

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of Kenya announced a vacancy for its Commission Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, inviting qualified Kenyan citizens with at least five years of management experience to apply. Applicants must provide identity documents, academic certificates, and clearance certificates from agencies such as the Ethics and Anti‑Corruption Commission and the Kenya Revenue Authority.

Separately, commentators have highlighted that many IEBC polling officials are unable to vote because they are posted away from their home constituencies on election day. They call for practical measures—such as early voting, special polling stations, or absentee arrangements—to enable these officials to exercise their franchise without compromising election integrity.
