The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced a temporary downtime of its voter verification portal to allow for scheduled system maintenance.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the Commission said it had begun system maintenance on the portal to enhance system performance and security.
"This essential maintenance is part of ongoing migration to new infrastructure aimed at enhancing service delivery through system performance and security," the Commission stated.
The commission noted that Kenyans would be notified once the system is fully restored and ready for use.
It has also apologised for the inconvenience likely to be caused during the maintenance.
