Guides
Kenya's 2027 election rules, with the source for each fact.
Plain-language guides to what IEBC and the law have set for the general election of 10 August 2027. Each fact is followed by a link to the page that prints it.
Checked 27 October 2026 against the sources listed at the end.
2027 election dates
Every date IEBC has gazetted for the general election of 10 August 2027, seat by seat, with the notice each one comes from.
2027 campaign spending limits
What a candidate for each seat may spend, county by county, constituency by constituency and ward by ward, from IEBC's Gazette Notice 12251.
How a parallel tally works
What the law gives a candidate's agent at the polling station, how the result forms fit together, and why only IEBC declares results.
How these guides are written
- The facts come from IEBC's own notices and press releases, the Constitution, and Acts and Regulations as Kenya Law prints them. A news report is used only where no official document says it, and is named as a report.
- Where two sources give different dates or figures, the guide shows both.
- Each guide says when it was checked, and what has not been confirmed. They are information, not legal advice.
- Groundwork reports; the IEBC declares.
