The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced that it spent Ksh27 million to print ballot papers for the upcoming November 27 by-elections.
The ballots were produced by Inform Lykos (Hellas) SA in Athens, Greece.
IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon received the first shipment—10 pallets containing ballot papers and statutory forms—on Tuesday evening.
The remaining 29 pallets are expected to arrive this evening.
Distribution of the election materials, including the ballot papers, is scheduled to begin tomorrow.

“Ballot papers for far-flung areas, including Banisa and Mandera, will be airlifted due to security concerns and long distances,” the IEBC said.
It added that the Commission had “made a deliberate decision to invite all 51 participating political parties to witness the arrival of the ballot papers.”
