IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati held a consultative meeting with the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai and discussed strategies for security management ahead of the 2022 General Election.
Mutyambai said they will work with security sector agencies under the Election Security Arrangement Programme.
Earlier, the IG affirmed his commitment to ensuring police respect human rights and fundamental freedom as stipulated in the Constitution of Kenya.
"I will endeavour to make sure that all police officers respect human rights and fundamental freedoms... but equally remind all of us that the police officers have rights which must be respected," said Mutyambai.
Up to 150,000 security officials will be deployed to man the August polls.
The National Police Service has prepared a plan on how they will deploy the personnel who will also include those from prisons, National Intelligence Service, Kenya Wildlife Service, National Youth Service and Kenya Forest Service.
Each of the 53,000 polling will have at least two police officers. More officers may be added depending on the needs.
Apart from the polling stations, other officers will be deployed to tallying centres at all constituencies and counties as others will keep patrolling various places to ensure the smooth running of the programmes.
Anti-riot teams mainly from Anti Stock Theft Unit, General Service Unit, Rapid Deployment Unit and Border Patrol Unit will be deployed to various hotspots and wait for any trouble.
