The KNCHR undertook interventions geared towards empowering all members of the community especially the vulnerable, marginalised and in the rural areas on their right to vote and be voted for, right to security, freedom of expression, right to picket and peaceful assemblies and to shun violence through community radio activations and national dialogues.

The Commission endeavoured throughout the electioneering period to update the nation on the state of human rights and freedoms throughout the electioneering period through bi weekly media briefs which included key recommendations on ongoing concerns or issues. The impact of these media briefs is that it served as both as an advocacy strategy and watchdog by putting all the actors on notice. This was aimed to act as a deterrence to the escalation of human rights violations. KNCHR provided 6 memorandums to the National Assembly and Senate, IEBC, Education Ministry and the TSC which were aimed at strengthening the respect for human rights and freedoms. These included: 

1. Memorandum election reforms presented to the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee (JPSC) 
2. Memorandum on the Elections Laws (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 3 0f 2015 on the introduction of provisions for back up in case of the failure of technology
