How technology is used in relation to paper voter lists?
Nigeria
ACCREDITATION PROCEDURE
There would be simultaneous accreditation at all centres.
As the voter presents him/herself, the Poll Clerk (PC) would:
Step 1: Request for the voter’s card.
Step 2: Examine the voter’s card to ascertain that the photo on the Voter’s card is that of the voter and that the Polling Station details are correct for that Polling Station.
Step 3: Check the register of voters to confirm that the voter’s name, photo and Voter Identification Number (VIN) as contained on the voter’s card are in the Register of Voters.
Step 4: Tick to the left of the name of the voter, if the person’s name is on the register of voters.
Step 5: Apply indelible ink to the cuticle of the appropriate finger on the left hand.
From the accreditation procedure it is not clear whether technology is used for identifying voters in addition or instead of using voter lists at the polling stations.
