A high court judge has extended the voter registration exercise to February 16.
The month-long listing was set to close on Tuesday.
Justice Chacha Mwita on Tuesday ordered that voter registration continues pending the hearing and determination of a case filed by activist Okiya Omtata.
Mr Omtata is challenging the legality of the February 14 deadline which he claims is contrary to the Elections Act that requires voter registration to be done two months to the elections.
On Tuesday, Kenyans flocked voter registration centres hours to the expiry of the deadline.
Armed with IDs, they thronged voter listing centres countrywide, with many spending hours in queues that had not been witnessed for the whole month.
