Didmus Barasa Pushes for Constitutional Change to Abolish Voter Registration, Allow Anyone with ID to Vote

Didmus Barasa, the MP for Kimilili, has proposed a constitutional amendment to eliminate the need for voter registration in Kenya, allowing anyone with a national ID to vote. This suggestion comes in light of the ongoing issues with the IEBC's voter registration process, which has been criticized for its inefficiencies and delays. Barasa argues that this change would simplify the voting process, reduce costs, and increase voter turnout by removing bureaucratic hurdles. He believes that since every Kenyan adult is issued an ID, this document should suffice for voting, thereby making elections more accessible and inclusive. However, this proposal would require significant legal and logistical adjustments to the current electoral framework.
