IEBC releases ballot paper, box colours for 2027 poll

By GhanaSummary NewsroomKenya

Before 2010, when Kenya had only three elective positions under the pre-devolution system, the then Electoral Commission of Kenya used just three ballot colours: white for president, green for parliament and blue for civic seats.[File, Standard] The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has released the ballot paper and ballot box lid colours for the six elective positions in the 2027 General Election.

IEBC said the colour of each ballot paper matches its respective ballot box lid, a design meant to help voters and officials identify the correct ballot quickly and cut down on stray or misplaced votes at polling stations.
