Is the biometric data used in voter identification at polling stations?

“How is the card used during voting?”

During voting, the voter's card can be used in two ways to verify the voter:

1. Manual recognition (and verification on the voters roll) of the voter from the card through their picture and other details;
2. Electronic recognition through a device which has a full copy of the voters roll. This verification device allows the card to be scanned and verified against the voters roll, as well as allowing voter confirmation through the comparison of the fingerprint after the voter's card is scanned.
