Returning officers in 13 polling stations in Uasin Gishu county will be required to move to other areas before sending results for the today's general elections.
This is due to what Uasin Gishu county IEBC returning officer Jacktone Nyonje says the stations are in areas with no stable 3G or 4G network coverage.
Speaking to the press at the IEBC offices in Eldoret town on Monday, Nyonje however assured that the results will not be altered with.
"We don't have areas with absolutely no signal in Uasin Gishu but for the 13 areas the signal is weak which means the connectivity keeps fluctuating on and off," noted Nyonje.
"But that won't be a challenge because once the tallying of results has been done, they will be fed into the machine and a copy of the results form scanned and the remaining task will be to send to constituency, county and national tallying centres and so when there's no network in that particular spot they will move to an area where is and click button," he added.
Uasin Gishu county has 450,055 registered voters spread across 868 polling centres in 30 wards and 6 constituencies.
