NAIROBI http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-ted-lindsay-red-wings-jersey/ , Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Tuesday extended voting period for regions where heavy rains and flooding made it hard for voters to reach the poll centers in the remote northern region of Turkana.
IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati told a media briefing in Nairobi that majority of the polling stations opened on time.
"We wish to assure you all that for the polling stations that opened late, we will compensate the time by extending the voting period by the same amount of hours that were lost before opening," he said.
Chebukati said the robustness of the voting kit, the Kenya Integrated Elections Managements System (KIEMS) system provided various voter identification options, which have provided voters with a remarkable voting experience.
IEBC Chief Executive Officer Ezra Chiloba said at least 7.84 million people, equal to 40 percent of the voters successfully voted based on a count of 25,000 voter identification kits reporting by 2 p.m. local time and a full count was expected by 6 p.m., an hour after the poll centers
