Number of Registered voters in North Eastern Province



Garissa County: 115,202 voters
Wajir County: 118091 voters
Mandera County: 120768 voters
North Eastern Province total registered voters: 354061 registered voters.

Disappointing results again! Only 354,000 against close to 16 million registered nationwide in Kenya.

Some places like Central province, the kikuyu regions have close to 4 million registered voters.

So 1/5th of the population registered this year. A shame.
