On Monday the exercise was marred by a number of things including low voter turnout, which the commission attributed to it being a working day.
Cases of corruptions were also cited as some candidate supporters were found bribing voters.
Migori senatorial seat fell vacant following the death of Mr Ben Oluoch Okello, who succumbed to throat cancer.
