Is e-voting currently used in any elections with EMB participation?
Cameroon
The voting process is still at a manual stage and the Electoral Board has not adopted the use of e-voting. The voting process involves the use of electoral register in paper form and biometric voter cards for the voting process .The voter checks his/her name on the list affixed outside the polling station. The voter then enters the polling station and submits his/her voter’s card and national identity card to the chairperson of the polling station to verify his/her name on the register. The voter then collects the ballot papers for the legislative election and a blue opaque envelope. Thereafter the voter goes to the booth, selects the ballot paper of his/her choice and places it in the envelope. The remaining ballot papers which he/she does not use are placed in a black bag attached to the booth. The voter than casts the envelope containing the ballot paper of his/her choice in a transparent box labeled “Elections Legislatives 2013'.
