The commission led by Wafula Chebukati said the cost per day to conduct voter registration was Sh37.3 million. This includes Sh3.1 million to store Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits and charging batteries, Sh15.5 million to transport the kits across the country and Sh18.7 million to pay voter registration personnel. In his petition, the activist also wants the court to compel IEBC to register voters using birth certificates and unexpired passports.
