Hundreds of residents in Mt Elgon risk being unable to register to vote in the 2027 General Election due to uncollected National Identity Cards. Over 672 IDs remain unclaimed at local Civil Registration offices, potentially disenfranchising a significant portion of the population. The majority of these uncollected IDs—408—belong to women, with 264 belonging to men. Authorities are concerned this issue will hinder the voter registration drive and are urging citizens to collect their identification documents promptly. Failure to do so could significantly impact voter turnout in the upcoming election. This situation highlights the importance of proactive ID collection efforts to ensure inclusive participation in the democratic process. The ongoing registration exercise aims to update the voter roll for the 2027 polls.
