A voter wants the IEBC compelled to make public the voters register before elections.
Executive Director Gladwell Otieno of Africog is seeking enough time for the public to peruse the register before elections.
Ms Otieno argues that section 6 of the Election Act and Regulations 33 of the Elections requires that the register of voters be opened up for inspection by voters 90 days before the election.
Africog also wants the court to prohibit IEBC from deploying a voter register for use in the general election slated for 8th August before it is subjected to public inspection as required under the law.
The Civil Society organisation further holds that there are noted inconsistencies in numbers declared by IEBC adding that the actual number of registered voters is not certain in some regions.
Ms Otieno says that an inspection of the register will enable voters scrutinize and ascertain the actual registered voters in their areas of concern.
In a certificate of urgency, the petitioner says that the continued non observance of the provisions of the law by Chebukati led commission constitute a threat to the rights and freedoms to have a free and fair election.
