If you want a clean, straightforward guide without fluff, here’s the reality: IEBC has given Kenyans a functional way to monitor the tallying of the 24 by-elections held on November 27, 2025.
The tool works, but only if you know exactly where to look and how to navigate it.
After polls closed at 5:00 p.m., IEBC activated its results forms portal, which streams uploaded Forms directly from Presiding Officers at polling stations.
That means you’re not getting commentary, rumors, or delayed summaries—you’re looking at raw submissions as they come in. If you want accuracy, this is the only place you should rely on.
Once on the portat: https://forms.iebc.or.ke., you’ll see three dropdown filters at the top. These are not decorations—use them.
Position: Choose the elective seat you’re tracking (MP, Senator, MCA).
Form Type: Select the specific form (like Form 34A/35A/36A equivalents depending on the race).
Election Date: Pick 27/11/2025 so you don’t confuse these mini-polls with other elections.
Below that is a county-by-county table. Each county shows two numbers: submitted forms vs expected forms. This ratio is your real-time indicator of tallying progress.
If a county is slow, don’t assume rigging—assume poor network, delays in logistics, or late presiding officers.
Counties available on the list include Kilifi, Tana River, Garissa, Mandera, Embu, Machakos, Turkana, Samburu, Nandi, Baringo, Narok, Kajiado, Kakamega, Bungoma, Siaya, Homa Bay, Nyamira, and Nairobi City.
A search bar on the right helps you jump directly to a county or polling station instead of scrolling endlessly. Results update progressively, not in batches—so refresh the page if you want the most current uploads.
IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon has already admitted that several areas experienced violence, intimidation, and disruptions.
If uploads appear slower in affected regions, that’s likely the reason.
