The IEBC is asking qualified individuals to apply for the position of Chief Executive Officer which it has advertised.
The position was previously held by Ezra Chiloba who was suspended and later fired over gross misconduct.
In an advertisement on its website, the commission said eligible candidates should tender their application before January 31.
Chiloba was fired as the commission's CEO in October 2018 after being found culpable for committing procurement irregularities during the 2017 general elections.
Chairman Wafula Chebukati said Chiloba was found to have acted in violation of sections of his contractual obligations.
He cited Chiloba's failure to implement various Commission/Board decisions and resolutions as among the reasons for the Friday decision.
"In tandem with fair administrative action, the Commission subsequently invited Chiloba to appear before the Disciplinary Committee so as to provide responses to the charges levelled against him. He, however, twice failed to honour the summons."
"Chiloba’s gross misconduct, breach and violation of the Commission's Human Resource and Administration policies as well as other relevant legislation left the Commission with no option other than to terminate his employment contract," the chairman said.
He cited contraventions of the IEBC Act, Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), and Public Procurement and Disposal Act.

But Chiloba in his defence said Chebukati is a man riddled with integrity issues and is unfit to hold office.
