Is the biometric data used in voter identification at polling stations?
Kenya
Article 4(m) of the IEBC Act No.9 of 2011, states the
Commission is responsible for the use of appropriate technology and approaches in the performance of its functions. The law does not specify what technology to use nor bio-data to be captured. In the last 2013 general elections the IEBC procured Electronic Voter Identification Devices (EVID), where the electronic poll book was uploaded and it was used to identify voters at the polling stations. http://kenyalaw.org/kl/fileadmin/pdfdownloads/Acts/IndependentElectoralandBoundariesCommissionNo9of2011.pdf
