Ahead of the August 9 polls, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) says it has put in place strict protocols for the identification of voters.

The agency said voters whose identity would not be possible to verify with the use of biometric technology due to worn out fingerprints will not be denied an opportunity to vote.
