IEBC has allayed fears the election management system has been compromised following the murder of ICT manager Chris Msando.
Urging voters not to worry, commissioner Margaret Wanjala said the electoral agency retained the passwords Msando used.
"Our ICT boss didn't die with an unknown password as people think. This issue of passwords is bothering so many including church leaders."
She spoke at Jumuiya Country Home in Limuru during a Tuesday meeting with National Council of Churches of Kenya.

Wanjala said IEBC is ready to handle next Tuesday's elections but declined to discuss Msando's issue further.
"My worry is if voters are ready."
Msando's body was positively identified by his family on Monday after he had been missing for three days. He was tortured to death and dumped in a thicket.
The body, which lay beside that of a KMTC student said to have been with him on the fateful Friday, was discovered in Kikuyu, Kiambu county on Saturday.
At the Limuru meeting, Wanjala described Msando as an important officer who was committed to his work.
She was advised to sit down and relax after getting emotional while narrating how she found the body at City Mortuary.
"We didn’t expect that to happen. We do not know the reason behind the murder. We have allowed police to investigate the matter."
IEBC voter education boss Joyce Ekwong, NCCK secretary general Peter Karanja, Amos Gathecha of the Interior ministry and area deputy county commissioner David Kiprop were present.
