In some polling stations, the 2013 register was to be used and in other circumstances there was only the party register — potentially locking out more than two million voters. However, yesterday, elections board chairman Andrew Musangi told a media briefing that no party had access to the IEBC register. Mr Tuju said the original plan was to use the party register and use the IEBC register to verify. "The party register was the primary one, regardless of whether one had registered online or in person,” he said. “There was a budget of Sh300m for printing of the ballot papers, so it is not clear why there was a shortage,” a source said.
