Kilifi has been listed among counties that have taken an early lead in the number of registered voters as the second week of the exercise draws to an end.
Kilifi, which has already registered 38,339 voters, comes third after Nairobi and Kiambu with 95,966 and 61,541 respectively.
Nakuru is placed fourth with 35, 815 with Meru having 33,285 registered voters.
The number of registered voters in the entire nation is, however, lower than the target as per the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati has urged Kenyans to turn out in large numbers and register as voters before the exercise comes to an end.
"We wish to remind Kenyans the exercise will continue until February 14. We urge them to register and not wait until the last day. We will not extend this period," said Chebukati, as quoted by Standard.
According to Chebukati drought has been one of the greatest challenges the commission has faced during the exercise.
The IEBC boss also blamed the low voter registration turn out on insecurity.
"The commission has received reports that drought in some counties has had a negative impact on voter registration due to the movement of people. We have also received reports of insecurity in some parts of the country, especially in Mandera, Pokot and Turkana," he added.
