The open roles cover vital departments including:

Prospective candidates are required to submit their applications by Tuesday, August 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. via the JKUAT e-recruitment portal, which provides detailed job descriptions and application instructions.
Applicants must provide a signed application letter, a comprehensive CV listing previous employers and positions, at least three professional referees, a copy of their National ID, and academic and professional certificates.
The recruitment notice emphasizes IEBC and JKUAT's commitment to equal opportunity, encouraging applications from youth, women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from marginalized communities.
Applicants are warned against canvassing or submitting false information, with disqualification as the consequence for any misrepresentation.
This recruitment initiative follows the recent vacancy announcement for the Commission Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a key leadership role overseeing the commission's operations including voter registration and election logistics.
Together, these appointments are part of IEBC's largest leadership hiring effort in recent years, aimed at strengthening operational capacity and ensuring effective management as the country prepares for the upcoming nationwide polls.
