Are you a registered voter who love 'selfies' and you intend to vote? Sorry you will not take them, at the polling station on the voting day.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has restricted voters against taking pictures and photographs in or near a polling station.
Under #SelfiesAFTERVoting, IEBC requested voters not to take pictures in a polling station, to protect the privacy of the ballot papers and respect other voters.
IEBC also asked voters not to make phone in a polling station.
Below is a full Twitter communication by the IEBC.

SHORT THREAD: On the issue of cell phones and cameras at polling stations. Nobody is saying you cannot take your #SelfiesAFTERVoting.
In fact, you can have your cell phone/camera on your person at the polling station. #SelfieAfterVoting

The only request we are making is that you do not take photos or make calls within the polling station as a voter. #SelfiesAFTERVoting.
This is only meant to preserve the right of all voter to secrecy of ballot as per the law. #SelfiesAFTERVoting
Kindly proceed to vote in an orderly manner. Once done, leave the polling station 400 meter radius. #SelfieAFTERVoting
You may take all the #SelfiesAFTERVoting you want and make your calls freely, outside of the polling station.
IEBC has no intention of curtailing your liberties. But please do respect polling station rules and other voters. #SelfiesAFTERVoting
