The final batch of 75 presidential ballot papers and 92 for ward election arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport from Dubai Tuesday night.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Deputy CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan said the dispatch of ballot papers to constituencies will start Wednesday.
The last constituency will receive the voting materials on August 6.
Mr Marjana said the Postal Corporation of Kenya will deliver the material countrywide.
”The dispatch starts tomorrow for distant constituencies first. We anticipate by August 4 all cargo will be at their destination but in case of any spill over it should be August 6.
“I want to assure the public that IEBC is ready for the election and the cargo that has arrived is tamper free,” he said.
