The elections body had rolled out the campaign for Kenyans to confirm their registration details by sending their National Identification/Passport number to 22464.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, IEBC said the system was a bit slow, as it took a while to upload data of newly registered voters.

“We suspend SMS register query via SMS to 22464 because newly registered voters unnecessarily get disappointed. Takes a while to upload data,” reads a tweet by @IEBCKenya.

It added, “Effecting changes and uploading records on the database takes a while, please don't panic that you are not registered. You are!”
