The Migori ballot

What a voter here marks

Six ballot papers. The same day, nationwide. Nominated seats — extra MCAs and other special seats — are filled from party lists after the vote, not by a separate poll.

President

One national vote. The winner must also meet the county-spread rule in the Constitution, not only a raw majority.

Governor & deputy

One joint ticket for Migori. You do not vote for the deputy separately.

Senator

One senator for the county, sitting in the Senate.

Woman representative

The County Woman Member of the National Assembly, elected by the whole county.

Member of Parliament

One in each constituency: Kuria West, Nyatike, Uriri, Suna West, Rongo, Suna East, Awendo, Kuria East.

MCA

One Member of the County Assembly in each of the 40 wards.

Before election day

Three checks, in this order

1. A national ID or passport

You cannot register as a voter without one. First-time IDs are issued by the national registration bureau, not by the IEBC.

2. The voter register

Confirm that you are registered, and in the right ward, on the IEBC channels at iebc.or.ke. Registration windows are announced by the Commission. This site will not guess those dates.

3. The gazetted candidates

After nomination, the IEBC publishes who is on each ballot. Until that list exists, any “full candidate list” online is unofficial.
