Is the biometric data used in voter identification at polling stations?
Ethiopia
Technology is not utilized in voter registration and therefore there is no biometric data captured. According to Article 23 of the Directive for The Registration of Voters (No 2/2009, as amended) issued by the NEBE, Every person who is legally registered as an elector shall be issued with an elector’s identification card; Each elector’s identification card shall have the following particulars; the name of the elector including that of his/her grandfather; address- region, zone, woreda, kebele, polling station, house number, village and locality; Roll number, serial number and page number; the signature of the elector and the signature of the registrar and the date of registration. http://www.electionethiopia.org/en/images/stories/directives/DIRECTIVE%20FOR%20THE%20REGISTRATION%20OF%20VOTERS.pdf
