The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) temporarily suspended its voter verification portal to conduct critical system maintenance aimed at enhancing system performance and security. The maintenance required migrating to new infrastructure, resulting in a multi-day outage. Throughout the downtime, the IEBC assured the public that voter registration details remained secure and intact despite the portal's unavailability. The commission faced public scrutiny for the timing and lack of prior notice in a politically sensitive environment. The voter verification portal was restored and fully operational by July 8, 2025, allowing voters to resume checking their registration details.
