Is technology used for identifying voters at polling stations (electronic poll books)?

Act No. 24 from 16 May 2000 Concerning Parliamentary Elections to the Althing

CHAPTER VI
Electoral registers

Article 24

The electoral register shall be written on forms provided by [the National Registry] and the guidelines that have been written on the guidelines must be followed in detail.

When the electoral register has been compiled it must be signed by the President of the municipal authority or by the [municipality administrator].

Article 25

The Ministry of Justice shall no later than twelve days prior to the election date announce the presentation of the electoral register through state radio and television and through newspaper advertisements. The advertisement shall indicate that those who wish to make complaints regarding the electoral register shall send them to the relevant municipal authority.

Article 26

The electoral register shall be presented to the public in the offices of the local authorities or in other suitable locations no later than ten days prior to the election day.

The municipal authority shall announce where the electoral register will be presented in the above manner, and it shall do so in every local government area in the places where public announcements are customarily published.

Following the presentation of the electoral register, the register shall be available for the public during regular office hours until election day. A certified transcript of the electoral register can be used for presentation.

Article 75

The president of the electoral commission and one of the co-commissioners shall each keep in front of them one copy of the electoral register. They shall place a mark by the name of each voter as soon as that voter's right to vote has been exercised.

Article 79

Voters are required to prove their identity to the electoral commission, for instance, by stating their name and producing an identification document or an ID card, or in another manner accepted as satisfactory in the opinion of the electoral commission. If a voter is thus entitled to cast a vote according to the electoral register, the electoral commission then hands the voter a ballot paper.

The Electoral Law does not mention the use of electronic forms of voter lists. Besides, the Article 75 mentions that polling stations commissioners should use paper copy of the voter registers. Therefore, it can be assumed that polling stations do not use electronic poll books.
