“The voter registration system is passive. Voter lists, which include voters residing in Kyrgyz Republic as well as abroad, are compiled on the basis of the Unified Population Register, which is maintained and updated by the State Registration Service (SRS). Although voters are automatically included in the voter register, the legislation sets as a prerequisite that eligible citizens deposit to the database of the SRS their biometric data, such as digital fingerprints of all fingers, photo, as well as a signature. ODIHR EOM interlocutors, in general, noted a growing confidence in the biometric voter registration system. However, a number of interlocutors expressed concerns to the ODIHR EOM about the use and protection of personal data and that some citizens were unwilling to undergo biometric registration; as a consequence, these citizens are not included in the voter register.”
